Lawmakers get thousands of messages on all sorts of issues. Consistency is what keeps this at the top of their minds.

Yes.

Lawmakers track every message they receive. When enough people speak up, they have no choice but to act. Public pressure has passed major laws before—and it will again!

These bills are narrowly focused on the weapons and devices most commonly used in mass shootings, including assault weapons and bump stocks.

They are designed to improve public safety while respecting responsible gun ownership and lawful uses like hunting.

It’s true that no law stops 100% of crime—but laws help mitigate tragedies.

Seatbelt laws didn’t end car crashes, but they saved lives.

These bills focus on limiting the future sale and manufacture of the weapons and devices most often used in mass shootings, such as assault weapons and bump stocks.

They do not require current gun owners to surrender firearms they already legally own. Enforcement would occur at the point of sale and manufacturing, not through confiscation of existing firearms.

State laws are important, but they’re patchwork.

Someone can simply cross a border to buy a weapon that’s banned in their state. A national standard closes those gaps and makes communities everywhere safer.

When we say “assault weapon,” we’re talking about semi-automatic firearms that are especially dangerous because they allow a shooter to fire rapidly and cause mass casualties in a short amount of time. These are the weapons most often used in mass shootings. For the full legal definition, you can find it in the text of the bills linked here: The BUMP Act and The GOSAFE Act
