Nearly two decades without a federal ban on assault weapons

EMAIL: {EMAIL} STATUS: HIGHLY QUALIFIED 2022 SURVEY RESPONSE: MISSING URGENT RESPONSE NEEDED: Do you think Congress should ban military-style assault weapons? [YES]( [NO]( {NAME}, Twenty-eight years ago, President Clinton signed the Federal Assault Weapons Ban into law and over the course of the 10 years it was in effect, deaths caused by assault rifles were notably reduced, confirming what we already knew: This policy saves lives. But since the ban expired, mass shootings have drastically increased and grown far deadlier — we saw it in Uvalde, in Las Vegas — and the nation lives in fear of the next active shooter attacking a school, church, or concert. That's why we're calling on gun violence prevention champions like you, {NAME}. Because if we want to prevent the next mass shooting carried out with a weapon of war, we all have to come together and make our voices heard. [Right now, we need 214 more responses to this urgent survey before 11:59 p.m –– but we just checked our records, and it looks like we haven't heard from you yet.
