Tell Congress: Ban Assault Weapons!

It's back-to-school season, and gun violence is now the #1 cause of death for kids and teens in America.

Lockdown drills and the fear of mass shootings should never be a part of going to school. Our young people deserve better.

There's often a common thread in mass shootings that makes them even deadlier: the use of an assault weapon—a weapon designed to kill as many people as possible as quickly as possible.

Our children have a right not to be gunned down at school. We have a right to be in public without being shot. These tragedies don't have to be our norm.

We won't stand for inaction from our lawmakers any longer. Sign the petition demanding that Congress reinstate the federal assault weapons ban.
