Dear Brady Campaign Member,

Enough is enough. I am outraged by the senseless deaths in these mass shootings — but more so, because Congress fails to act to prevent them.

Last month, 22 people were killed in mass shootings in North Carolina, Alabama and California. Already this month, 13 people were killed and four injured in a horrific shooting in Binghamton, New York on Friday.

Then, on Saturday, a father shot his five children in Washington State and three police officers were killed by a deranged man wielding an assault weapon in Pittsburgh.

How many more need to die before Congress acts to pass strong gun laws to protect you, your family and your community?

If tainted pistachios, peanut butter, or spinach had killed these people, Congress would have jumped in with investigations, re-calls, and insisted that these foods be taken off the shelves in grocery stores.

And yet, Congress does nothing — says nothing — in response to these killing sprees. The NRA and gun lobby may have silenced Congress, but they will not silence me, you — or the Brady Campaign!

The Brady Campaign is pressing legislators to strengthen our country's gun laws — to close the gun show loophole, ban military-style assault weapons, and limit the bulk sales of guns that feed illegal gun trafficking not only to Mexico, but from one state to another here at home.

At our recent media event on the violence in Mexico, we made it clear: the same weak gun laws in the U.S. that help fuel the violence in Mexico lead to easy access to dangerous weapons and mass shootings here at home. Congress needs to change that!

We need your support now. Congress must take action to stop these shootings and make it harder for dangerous people to obtain dangerous weapons. We don’t need another mass shooting. Give generously. Please click here to donate to the Brady Campaign now.

Sincerely,

Sarah Brady, Chair

P.S. March 30 was the day when, 28 years ago, a seriously mentally ill man shot and injured my husband Jim, and three others outside the Washington Hilton. Our lives have never been the same. That’s why we work so hard to protect you, your family and your community. Please support the Brady Campaign.
