Our state legislators are home for the next week or two but we have this action at the federal level from our Gun Violence Prevention Team:
Everytown for Gun Safety (everytown.org) is encouraging people to support a new bill introduced in Congress last year that would ban assault weapons: the Gas-Operated Semi-Automatic Firearms Exclusion (GOSAFE) Act.
Since then, Everytown’s efforts have won over 62 new co-sponsors for the bill during the last Congress: 18 in the Senate and 44 in the House. Senator Heinrich and Representative McBath just re-introduced the GOSAFE Act in this Congress.
We know that the gun lobby will fight against this bill.
Send a message urging your lawmakers to support the GOSAFE Act.
