UVA, Club Q, Chesapeake Walmart -- that’s 3 horrific mass shootings in the space of days. Assault rifles are used in the majority of mass shootings, and Pres. Biden just said he's “going to try to get rid of assault weapons” during the lame-duck. The US House already passed an assault weapons ban, so now the Senate must vote. Though it's unlikely to pass, every US Senator needs to go on record on where they stand!

Demand a U.S. Senate vote NOW on banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines!

There’s no good reason for civilians to own high-capacity magazines and weapons designed for war. We need a U.S. Senate vote NOW, which would get all U.S. Senators on the record for where they stand.

We're still waiting for more information about the shooter - was he ANOTHER WHITE MAN? The vast majority of mass shootings are perpetrated by white men. At least this time, it doesn't seem to have involved an assault rifle, though that's no comfort.

6 people and the gunman are dead in a shooting at a Walmart in Virginia

A Walmart employee opened fire in a Virginia store late Tuesday during what are normally popular pre-Thanksgiving shopping hours. It's the second high-profile mass killing in a handful of days.

376 armed police couldn't stop the Uvalde shooter. Two unarmed bystanders stopped the Colorado Springs shooter.
