Even on the day of that shooting, we knew exactly how to prevent tragedies like this from happening: Gun safety reforms work – and we needed to start with banning the assault weapon that eventually allowed this shooter to take so many lives so violently and so quickly. But the gun lobby refused to yield, and Congress refused to protect our kids. From Parkland to Uvalde to Nashville, the blame for every school shooting since Sandy Hook rests directly in the hands of the gun lobby and their bought-and-paid-for politicians. That's why Brady PAC is working every day to defeat the gun lobby and replace their sellout politicians with true gun safety leaders.

They've seen how schools, grocery stores, concerts and communities become war zones in a split second when civilians are allowed to own these weapons of war. Just recently, Americans watched in horror as a gunman in Lewiston, Maine, used an assault weapon to kill 18 people and injure 13 others. It's a scene all too familiar for our country. Assault weapons are the mass shooter's weapon of choice – and we know exactly why. These weapons are designed with one sole purpose: to kill as many people as possible, as quickly as possible. But the NRA has spent MILLIONS on propaganda trying to convince Americans that these weapons don't pose an imminent threat to our communities. And now, polling data shows that support for an assault weapons ban is actually DROPPING. We can't let the gun lobby drown out the truth – especially when we're so close to finally passing a ban. But we're counting on your grassroots support to compete with their deep-pocketed megadonors.
