SHOCKING defeat

[BREAKING: DESANTIS LAUNCHED HIS CAMPAIGN FOR PRESIDENT]( [Have you heard the news, {NAME}?! Governor Ron DeSantis just announced that he’s running for President. We are utterly GOBSMACKED. DeSantis has done NOTHING but put Floridians in more danger with his horrifying gun laws. Last month, he even signed the DEADLY permitless and untrained carry bill into law – allowing Floridians to carry hidden and loaded guns in public with no background check, training, or permit. Under NO circumstances can we allow him to pass these sickening bills across the country. So we’re counting on 547 of our top supporters to help us make DeSantis’ announcement completely BACKFIRE. Can you rush $15 immediately to fuel our fight against the likes of DeSantis and his dangerous gun lobby allies? >>]( {NAME}, Ron DeSantis is far too dangerous to hold any political office – let alone the Presidency. Here’s what he’s done during his time as Florida Governor: [FACT #1:]( He VETOED critical mental health services for survivors of the Pulse massacre – one of the deadliest mass shootings in US history that left 49 Floridians dead. [FACT #2:]( He BRAGGED that he would have vetoed the Florida law that raised the age to buy a gun to 21 years old – immediately after a 19-year-old killed 17 kids and educators in Parkland. [FACT #3:]( He SIGNED into law permitless and untrained carry that allows Floridians to carry concealed weapons in public with no permit or training. [And Fox News just revealed that in the first HOUR after announcing his campaign for President, DeSantis raised a whopping $1 MILLION.]( [We’re DISGUSTED, {NAME}. As DeSantis rakes in blood money, pushes for more guns on our streets, and sets his eyes toward the White House – innocent Floridians continue to lose their loved ones to gun violence. We cannot afford for his agenda to spread to the White House. We need 547 supporters to help us push back against DeSantis’ extremism and hand him a SHOCKING defeat. Can you chip in $15 before midnight to help us elect champions who will fight to protect our communities from gun violence and defeat the likes of DeSantis? >>]( This year alone, gun violence has stolen over 17,000(!!) Americans. The stakes are FAR too high for DeSantis and his gun lobby-backed allies to sit in the oval office. That’s why we have to do everything in our power to DEFEAT any lawmaker like DeSantis that puts guns over our lives. [{NAME}, if we’re going to have any chance of ending gun violence and BANNING assault weapons once and for all, we can’t let DeSantis’ millions go unmatched. We’re calling for 547 gifts before midnight to fully fund our campaign to elect gun safety champions and show DeSantis we won’t stand for his schemes. Can you pitch in $15 before midnight to join our fight and show DeSantis that we’re not backing down? >>]( [Chip in $15 now >>]( [Chip in $25 now >>]( [Chip in $50 now >>]( [Chip in $100 now >>]( [Chip in another amount now >>]( We couldn’t do this without you, Team Ban Assault Weapons NOW!

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?
