This week, 19 children and 2 teachers were murdered at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas in a massacre that was carried out with an AR-15 semiautomatic assault weapon. As we mourn this incalculable loss, we must demand action from our leaders. Mass shooting after mass shooting, we’ve seen no meaningful action from Congress to put an end to gun violence. The NRA has many of our representatives in a chokehold. Our children deserve better – we must make this country a safer place for them to grow up in. The AR-15 is designed to kill many people quickly – and that’s exactly what we’ve witnessed in Uvalde, Parkland, Las Vegas, San Bernardino, Sandy Hook, and so many more. These assault weapons are tearing our country apart and don’t belong on our streets – there is no reason for any civilian to have a weapon of war in their possession. We’re fed up with Congress’ inaction. We need an assault weapons ban immediately. No more “thoughts and prayers.” Too many lives have been lost to senseless gun violence.
