We demand that the U.S. Congress pass a national ban on assault weapons and much stronger controls on hand guns NOW!
Why is this important?
Today 20 children and six adults were murdered in their school in Newtown, CT. Last week it was a mall in Portland, OR. Before that a movie theater in Aurora, CO. How many times do these mass murders, or for that matter, individual murders, have to take place before we pass a ban on assault weapons in this country? Yes, people committed these heinous crimes, but they committed them with hand guns and assault weapons. We need a national ban on assault weapons and much stronger controls on hand guns NOW!
