Sign the petition ๐๐ฝโค๏ธ Iโm all for the right to a gun, absolutely but something has to change to protect against those who want to harm our innocent babies
โGun violence is tearing families and communities apart, and we urgently need Congress to put common sense gun control laws in place. Parents are mourning the children they lost. Teachers are shocked that active shooter drills turn into tragic reality. Students are forever traumatized after watching their peers killed. Siblings are missing their best friends at home.
Thereโs something deeply troubling when attack after attack on our schools, places of worship, and community institutions simply go on without any government response beyond thoughts, prayers, and soundbites on cable tv.
A right-wing racist gunned down ten community members in a Buffalo, NY supermarket.
The attack on a Taiwanese Presbyterian Church in Laguna Hills, CA was carried out with two legally purchased guns and bags containing incendiary devices and extra ammunition.
And the horrifying attack on Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, TX killed 19 students and two adults with weapons legally purchased by the teen shooter.
The gun homicide rate in the United States is 25 times higher than that of other developed countries. Congress must act to pass meaningful legislation immediately. Our families are under attack, and shouldnโt have to live in constant fear of our safety for one more moment.
We need basic protections to keep our children safe. Itโs long past time for Congress to take bipartisan action to end these senseless shootings.โ
