Dear Supporter,
We need your help to pay for this ad. Anonymous
donors have agreed to match your donations to this e-mail dollar
for dollar. With Congress in session only 22 days before the
Assault Weapons Ban expires, we need to step up our advertising
campaign. Over 250,000 people have already signed our petition to
renew the ban, but we need to spread the word.
100% of your contribution will help us pay for this ad in major
newspapers around the country. Click here to send what you can.
President Ford, President Carter, President
Reagan, and President Clinton all agreed that assault weapons
should be banned. Over 75% of Americans do too. But President Bush
is doing nothing to renew the Assault Weapons Ban. In this day and
age, why would anyone want to see these lethal weapons back on the
street?
Here's what will happen if the ban is allowed to
expire:
- Eighteen-year-olds will be able to walk into gun stores and
buy new American-made AK-47s.
- In many states, it will be possible to bring concealed TEC-9
assault pistols, loaded with thirty rounds of ammunition, into
bars, churches and sports arenas, and even public schools or
universities.
- Kids as young as 13 will be able to buy brand new
American-made AK-47s at gun shows and through classified ads.
- New high capacity ammunition magazines that allow guns to
fire up to 100 rounds without reloading will be mass-produced
and sold on a cash-and-carry basis to anyone, with no questions
or background checks.
Here's what you can do to help the campaign to renew the
Assault Weapons Ban:
1. Contribute to our campaign.
2. Forward this e-mail to everyone you know.
We need your help to stop the NRA.
Thanks for your support.
