The heartbreaking truth is undeniable: gun violence has become an epidemic in our country, with mass shootings occurring at an alarming rate. We've already witnessed over 400 mass shootings in 2023, an average of nearly two per day. This is an urgent crisis that demands immediate action. [We cannot continue to allow assault weapons to be readily available, contributing to this devastating cycle of violence. It's time for a change, and we need your voice to make it happen.

In 1994, the federal assault weapons ban reduced the risk of deaths from mass shootings by an incredible 70%. The ban led to a significant decrease in both the number of incidents and the tragic loss of lives. However, the ban was not extended beyond 2004, and we have since seen the tragic impact of these military-style semi-automatic weapons on our communities. Thoughts and prayers are not enough. It's time for real action to end this cycle of violence. Stand with us and demand that Congress takes a stand for the safety of our communities. [Join us in this fight. Sign our petition and add your voice to the growing call for Congress to immediately enact legislation to ban assault weapons. Let's work together to save lives and create a safer future for all.]( [BAN ASSAULT WEAPONS!](     Cliff Schecter President, Blue Amp Action Amplify Good   Follow Us [Twitter]( [LinkedIn]( Blue Amp Strategies 1776 Mentor Ave. #411 | Norwood, Ohio 45212 513.438.0171 | info@blueampaction.com   About BlueAmp Action: We cannot sugarcoat the current situation. Right-wing authoritarianism, defeated by a worldwide coalition during WWII, was only in hibernation. Over the past decade it has infected democratic societies--including ours. It is as simple as it is terrifying: What we do now will define the future of our country and world. We at Blue Amp Action are dedicated to liberal, open societies, where reason and science are applied to solve our problems; where civil rights--including voting rights!--are protected for all. We fight for these values every day. Speaking up on our platforms, raising the voices and the political prospects of liberal pols and pundits. And savvy grassroots activists like you know, just like we do, that we can’t stop watching the people we help elect: after the elections, we have to keep organizing support for the policies we like and pushing back against the ones we don’t. When the public tunes out between elections and the only people our elected officials hear from are the paid lobbyists of wealthy corporations, our government stops being accountable to the needs of ordinary families. Democracy never sleeps, and neither can we. So we ask that you support our work, so we can continue to engage in this fight every moment of every day. So our kids grow up in democracy, not dystopia.
