[{NAME}: We’re about to expose the grim reality that ALL our communities could face if we don’t DEFEAT gun-lobby-backed Republicans (like those who blocked the Assault Weapons Ban in the Senate) in this historic election and explain why your support is critical to ending mass shootings. It’s important you read it all. But if you’re short on time, will you chip in $15 and watch our video before you go? Every dollar goes to electing gun safety Democrats up and down the ballot and unseating the cowardly Republicans standing in the way of our progress. >>]( [[GUNSHOTS] 911 What's your emergency?]( [3 minutes and 44 seconds.]( That’s how long it took the gunman at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School to shoot 34 kids and educators, stealing 17 lives. The sole reason the shooter was able to take so many lives in such a short period is that he legally purchased an AR-15. [It’s been 6 years since the massacre in Parkland, Florida – and 6 long years of survivors and loved ones of those stolen PLEADING for change.]( Yet Republicans in Congress have done nothing but BLOCK the federal assault weapons ban and push to loosen gun safety regulations. All while THOUSANDS more innocent lives have been stolen at their schools, parades, and grocery stores by mass shooters with legally purchased assault weapons [That’s why we’re asking you to chip in $15 before midnight. Republican lawmakers aren’t even trying to hide their disregard for our lives. They even blocked the assault weapons ban in the Senate right after these weapons of war stole 18 lives in Lewiston, Maine. So if they won’t take action, we will show up in RECORD numbers like never before to defeat them every single year, not just in the wake of a mass shooting. We are working tirelessly to KICK these complacent Republican lawmakers out of office for good and elect candidates who will reinstate the federal assault weapons ban. But we’re counting on 600 supporters to chip in any amount and join us before midnight to compete with the gun lobby’s deep pockets and end their reign of terror. Can we count on your $15 before midnight? All contributions go to DEFEATING gun-lobby-backed Republicans and ELECTING gun safety leaders up and down the ballot. >>]( We won’t mince words, {NAME}: [80]( mass shootings have torn apart our communities in the early days of 2024… [125]( innocent Americans have already been slaughtered in these massacres… […And instead of taking action, Republicans have BLOCKED gun safety legislation and tried to REMOVE the gun safety measures already on the books at every turn.]( [Honestly, we’re TIRED, {NAME}. We’re tired of watching communities torn apart by mass shootings fueled by assault weapons – and never knowing if our community will be next. We’re tired of begging for our lives. And we’re tired of watching cowardly Republicans line their campaign coffers with blood money from the gun lobby while they allow our loved ones to die time and again. But if we want any chance at changing the tide and stopping the proliferation of assault weapons – we need to stand up in unprecedented numbers, say enough is enough, and take matters into our own hands. So we’re rallying 600 of our top supporters before midnight to help us OUST every single gun-lobby-backed legislator and REPLACE them with a bold gun safety candidate. Will you rush in $15? The more you give, the more we can give to the steadfast gun safety candidates running to defend our communities, ban assault weapons, and end mass shootings for good. >>]( [Chip in $15 now >>]( [Chip in $25 now >>]( [Chip in $50 now >>]( [Chip in $100 now >>]( [Chip in another amount now >>]( Thank you for all that you do, Team Ban Assault Weapons Now PAC [PS: Watch the full video here >>](        ‚  ‚   BAWN is committed to replacing every cowardly and complacent lawmaker, regardless of party, that denies your right to live without fear of being shot.
