In 5 hours, I’m delivering this petition to Schumer

[I’m in Washington, D.C. right now. I’m personally meeting with Senators to demand they reinstate the federal assault weapons ban. And I want to send them a message they can't ignore. Can you sign my petition to DEMAND Senator Schumer call for a vote on the assault weapons ban before the November election? I need 50 supporters from New York to sign on before I deliver the signatures in 5 hours. >>]( {NAME}, this is important. Grieving and devastated family members from Parkland, Uvalde, Highland Park, Aurora, Robb Elementary, Newtown, and Buffalo are pouring our hearts out to Senators in D.C. right now. We are re-telling the most traumatic day of our lives -- when the bodies of our children and loved ones were pulverized by weapons made for war. The truth is survivors and family members of gun violence have sacrificed ENOUGH for the benefit of gun manufacturers’ profits. It is high time the gun industry sacrifices something for us: the end of arming killers with weapons of war. [It’s time Senator Schumer brings the assault weapons ban to the floor for a vote. Voters DESERVE to know which Senators stand on the right side of history -- and which are beholden to the gun lobby’s interests. I need 50 signatures from New York in the next 5 hours to pressure Schumer to do the right thing and bring the assault weapons ban to a vote. Every day the vote is delayed, more lives are stolen. Will you sign your name right now? I'll send your signature straight to his desk. >>]( [SIGN ON NOW >>]( It’s sickening, {NAME}. These completely legal killing machines -- like the AR-15 that killed my nephew and his classmates -- render the bodies of our children, our families, our fellow community members, so unrecognizable that they can only be identified through DNA testing or scraps of clothing left behind. There is NO reason for assault weapons that can liquify the organs of their targets to remain available. So many communities have already been devastated by these entirely preventable slaughters perpetrated by killers armed with weapons of war. [It’s on all of us -- but ESPECIALLY our lawmakers and elected officials – to make sure that no other community faces these horrors.]( [There have been HUNDREDS of mass shootings since the one that stole my nephew from my family. It’s time for us ALL to band together and fight like our lives depend on it -- because THEY DO. We won’t take any more excuses from legislators while our communities are on the line. Sign on now to tell Senator Schumer that it’s FINALLY time to vote for an assault weapons ban on the Senate floor. I need 50 signatures from New York before I deliver this petition to his office. >>]( Thanks for fighting alongside me, Gail Schwartz [Gail Schwartz]( Chair, Ban Assault Weapons NOW Heartbroken aunt of Parkland shooting victim [P.S. Read my letter to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and Democratic leaders urging them to pass the assault weapons ban 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. Legislators that support the deadly proliferation of guns, instead of common sense gun safety measures, are responsible for the carnage of gun violence -- and must be voted out. BAWN also lobbies legislators to support the assault weapon and large capacity magazine ban bills that will help put an end to the slaughter of innocent Americans. But they can’t do this alone. BAWN is relying on your support to kick every coward who refuses to protect our children and families OUT of office. Will you chip in right away?
