Tell Congress: Ban Assault Weapons Now
U.S. Congress
It's an unacceptable reality that gun violence is the number one killer of kids in the United States. It is running rampant across our nation and tearing apart our schools, neighborhoods, and communities.
Research shows that assault weapons accounted for a third of all mass shooting deaths and more than 80 percent of all injuries in mass shootings between 2015 and 2022. Despite this reality, our lawmakers have failed to take decisive action to reinstate the federal assault weapons ban that expired in 2004, among other common-sense gun safety measures.
Our children deserve to grow and thrive in a safe, peaceful nation, and we deserve to live in communities free from gun violence. We deserve better. Sign our petition to tell Congress that we won't wait any longer — Pass a new federal assault weapons ban NOW.

Gun violence is the number one killer of kids in the United States and is tearing apart our schools, neighborhoods, and communities. Since the assault weapons ban expired in 2004, there have been an estimated 40,000+ deaths from gun violence in the U.S
We deserve to live in safe communities and our children deserve to grow and thrive in a safe, peaceful nation.
As lawmakers, we are counting on you to stand with us to build a future where our communities are free from the threat of gun violence. We need decisive action to reinstate the assault weapons ban and strengthen background checks and red flag laws to heal our communities, and we need it now.
