Again, and again, and again, and again, and again…and nothing in response.
In the past week—in Philadelphia, Brooklyn, Gilroy, El Paso, and Dayton—our nation has been rocked by mass shootings that killed at least 34 and injured 71. My heart is with each of those communities.
El Paso is suffering because a white nationalist attacked them. This is white nationalist terrorism going unchecked, and it’s complete madness.
Despite massive public support for gun safety measures, we still haven’t passed commonsense reform. There’s just one reason: The NRA has a chokehold on Republicans in Congress.
Enough is enough. We need to take action. We need a president who will stand up to the gun lobby’s greed and take action to save lives, even if Congress won’t.
As president, I will:
- Combat federal gun trafficking through legislation and executive action
- Expand background checks and close loopholes on gun sales
- Ban military-style assault weapons
- Increase federal resources and gun violence accountability measures for local law enforcement
We can’t become numb. Every time there’s another shooting, families are torn apart, futures are cut short, survivors are left with life-long complications and trauma, and entire communities are changed forever.
This is not normal, and this cannot be life as usual.
We owe it to the victims, their loved ones, and this country to continue our fight against gun violence. And I promise you—I will never let up in the fight to protect American families.
Stand with me and add your name. No more lives taken from gun violence. We need commonsense gun reform, and we need it now.
Thank you,
Kirsten
