10,000 Women Louisiana responds to Massacres

Letter to: Laurie Lipsey Aronson, CEO & President, Lipsey's LLC

Following the massacres from Buffalo to Uvalde, we at 10,000 Women Louisiana couldn't wait any longer for action on common-sense gun reform. However, we are also cognizant of political realities here in Louisiana and in Washington that prevents meaningful legislative action directed at firearms.

That is why we are asking you to sign this letter TODAY to urge one of the largest gun distributors in the country to voluntarily stop selling assault weapons.

Please sign this letter to Laurie Lipsey Aronson--The chairwoman and CEO of Lipsey's LLC which is headquartered in Baton Rouge and is one of the largest gun distributers in the country.

From: [Your Name]

Dear Ms. Aronson:

We are asking for your help. We recognize that you hold an important leadership role as the Chairwoman and CEO of Lipsey’s LLC., the largest firearm distributor in America. Your actions can set the standard for other gun distributors, retailers and elected officials.

Given the recent traumatic AR-15 gun violence tragedies around the country, we ask you to consider what you can do as a mother, a community leader and as a recognized philanthropic business leader.

We ask Lipsey’s to stop the distribution of automatic and semi-automatic (assault-style) weapons created for the military. You personally can change whether civilians can acquire these weapons, magazines and ammunition that are being used for the murder of innocent children and adults. We understand that Lipsey’s also distributes or sells to government and law enforcement entities, both domestic and foreign. Our intent is to ban access to the weapons, magazines and ammunition to the general population.

Your swift action could decisively change the national availability of these weapons. You alone could have a profound effect on the safety of our communities. Additionally, your role as the President of the Board of the National Association of Sporting Goods Wholesalers (NASGW) and the Board of Governors of the National Shooting Sports Foundation gives you a unique opportunity to shift the narrative for this industry. In your role on the LSU Board of Supervisors, we ask that you consider the issue of gun safety for educational institutions.

We the undersigned friends, neighbors, community leaders, advocates and citizens implore you to take action barring access to military-style weapons for purchase by the general public. Please make a public statement about how Lipsey’s can help address the gun violence epidemic.
Thank you,
