Congresswoman Stefanik: Ban Assault Weapons Now!
Our schools must be havens for learning where students can feel safe and not have to worry about being gunned down in their own classrooms or on the playground. Military-style assault weapons are weapons of war and have no place in our communities. We DEMAND that you stand with our lives and against the NRA. We DEMAND that you ban assault weapons, like the AR-15 used in Parkland, Florida this past week. We DEMAND that you retrieve this petition in person at Indivisible Lowville's March 12, 2018, at 7:00 pm, located at 5535 Bostwick Street, Village of Lowville Municipal Building, Lowville, NY 13367. We will wait for you to arrive and pick up the petition. You are welcome to stay for the meeting if you'd like.
Why is this important?
We represent Indivisible Lowville, a local grassroots group dedicated to progressive values. However, the undersigned include a variety of your constituents and not all of them belong to Indivisible. We, collectively, want common sense gun control that does not infringe on sport or hunting but takes away access to all military style weaponry. Many of us have school-aged children and it is clear that our schools are no longer a safe place for them to be. Please take action, Ms. Stefanik.
