Join our campaign to renew the ban on assault weapons.
I live in a small town, much like Newtown. When I heard the news on Friday, like parents all across our country, my first instinct was to run to school, pick up my 5 year old son Jack from kindergarten, and never let him out of my sight again. When I did pick him up at the end of the day, I held him close and fought back tears when I saw 26 candles already lit in rememberance outside his elementary school.
Enough is enough. No child, no parent, no country should ever have to live through a day like Friday again. Newtown should never have happened. Aurora should never have happened. Tuscon should never have happened. The time for change is now.
Will you join our campaign to pass a new assault weapons ban? Courage Campaign is prepared to devote major resources to this fight, but only if you, and others are on board.
It’s simple. Civilians do not need assault weapons. The only members of society who do are soldiers and our most finely trained law enforcement professionals. Otherwise, they have only one use: mass murder. In 1994, Congress passed and President Clinton signed an assault weapons ban, but it expired after 10 years because too many elected officials on both sides of the aisle fear the National Rifle Association (NRA).
We’re going to ban assault weapons. Again. And this time it will stick. Are you with us?
We know how to win. We've done it before, but we cannot do it unless we build a movement. That means YOU. Join us and take the first step.
Enough is enough.
