Tell the Senate to protect our kids and ban assault weapons
U.S. Senate
On July 29th, the House of Representatives passed legislation to ban assault weapons. Each day the Senate allows mass shooters to legally purchase weapons of war, our kids and loved ones are at risk of being hunted anywhere any time. It's time for the Senate to pass S736 to end the civilian use of these assault weapons so we can prevent tragedies like those we saw in Sandy Hook, Parkland, and Uvalde. Please sign this petition from ParentsTogether Action and Newtown Action Alliance.

Across the nation our family members are being senselessly gunned down. On July 29, 2022, the House of Representatives passed HR1808 to ban assault weapons in response to the heartbreaking mass shooting tragedies including the school shooting in Uvalde. Now the Senate must act.
President Joe Biden is ready and willing to sign the bill into law. With easy access to military-style semi-automatic assault weapons and high capacity magazines, too many individuals have turned our schools, malls, concerts, movie theaters, places of worship, stores, highways, parades, and other public spaces into a war zone filled with terror, devastation and terrible loss.
Military-style semi-automatic assault weapons are designed to efficiently kill as many people as possible in the shortest amount of time available. There is absolutely no reason for assault rifles, assault pistols, and assault shotguns to be sold on the civilian market.
Congress did not take action after Aurora, Sandy Hook, San Bernardino, Orlando, Las Vegas, Sutherland Springs, Parkland, Pittsburgh and many other devastating mass shooting incidents and the scope of death and destruction caused by gunmen with weapons of war is growing.
Your thoughts and prayers are not enough to protect our families. We demand that you act now to stop the carnage with an effective federal ban on the civilian use of these weapons. NOW is the time to act!
