📢Ban Bump Stocks Now!
We deserve to live in a community free of gun violence
Banning bump stocks is crucial for enhancing public safety and reducing gun violence. Bump stocks, devices that enable semi-automatic rifles to fire at nearly the same rate as fully automatic weapons, pose a significant threat to public safety. Recently, the U.S. Supreme Court overturned a regulation that had classified semi-automatic rifles with bump stocks as machine guns, a rule established following the 2017 Las Vegas mass shooting. In this tragic event, the shooter used a bump stock to kill 60 people and wound 500 more in a matter of minutes. The rapid firing capability of bump stocks allows a gun to fire a continuous stream of bullets at a rate of up to 800 rounds per minute with one pull of the trigger. By banning these devices, we can significantly curtail the potential for such horrific acts, making our communities safer and reducing the likelihood of mass shootings.
Furthermore, the prohibition of bump stocks aligns with common-sense gun control measures that respect the Second Amendment while prioritizing public welfare. There is no practical application for semi-automatic weapons, let alone bump stocks, in civilian life. Our extremist Supreme Court has made it clear - they won’t protect the public, so it is up to Congress to legislate common sense gun reform. By taking decisive action to ban bump stocks, lawmakers would respond to the public's call for more stringent gun control laws and demonstrate a commitment to preventing future tragedies.
Sign the petition below and tell Congress to BAN BUMP STOCKS - Americans should not have to live in fear of mass devastation!
As champions for progress, we believe that everyone who is eligible should be allowed to own a gun.
Our state and federal laws need to be updated to define eligibility better:
- Require background checks on all gun sales and ammunition sales
- Have a red flag law
- Prevent domestic abusers from accessing guns
- Ban assault weapons
- Limit magazine capacity
- Ban bump stocks
- Require concealed carry permits
- Restrict open-carry
- Ban firearms in libraries, schools, and hospitals
- Have a waiting period
- Allow victims of gun violence to have their day in court and that gun manufacturers, sellers, and interest groups are not shielded from liability when acting with negligence and disregard for public safety.
