Military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazine are meant for one thing only: killing lots of people very quickly. That's why they're so commonly found at the scenes of mass shooting tragedies like:
-
Newtown, CT where 26 people, including 20 first-grade children, were killed with an assault weapon and multiple 30-round magazines.
-
Tucson, AZ where 6 people were killed and 13 injured, including Congresswoman Gabby Giffords, with a semi-automatic handgun and a 33-round magazine clip
-
Aurora, CO where the gunman used an 100-round drum magazine to kill 12 people and injure another 58 in a suburban movie theater
We can’t stop all gun violence, but we can get these military-style assault weapons and high capacity magazine clips off our streets and out of our schools.
Use this petition to tell the leaders of Congress to take action right now.
