Ban assault weapons now

We cannot go to school, church, shopping, dining, concerts, parades without the threat of gun violence destroying our lives, families and communities forever. This is our America today. We must reclaim our right to life and liberty. Ban assault weapons now and make America safe again.

We cannot go to school, church, shopping, dining, concerts, parades without the threat of gun violence destroying our lives, families and communities forever. We must reclaim our right to life and liberty. Ban assault weapons now.
