Dear 5849376, It's hard to imagine the pain experienced by the friends and families of the individuals gunned-down at the Washington Navy Yard on Monday. But it's not hard to imagine what will happen in the coming weeks if we don't speak up and take action: Congress will bow to the National Rifle Association's extreme agenda to stop sensible gun law reforms that would help put an end to gun massacres. Call your senator and demand he stand with constituents and pass stronger gun laws. Click here for a sample script and the number to call. The vast majority of Americans, and 75% of NRA members, favor universal background checks, but the extremists in Congress bowing to pressure from the NRA won't pass this common-sense reform.1 While the NRA pretends to represent the interests of average gun owners, in reality it prioritizes the deadly interests of arms dealers and gun manufacturers.2 Those frightening priorities make it easy for disturbed individuals to get guns, while making it difficult for law enforcement to stop those same individuals from inflicting mass casualties. NRA supporters are some of the most outspoken when it comes to contacting Congress, and it's a foregone conclusion that hundreds, if not thousands, have already made calls to their legislators demanding they block sensible gun law reforms, including universal background checks. Don't let the NRA win. Call your senator and demand he stand with constituents and pass stronger gun laws.
