Maybe you’ve seen firsthand how gun violence can rip apart a family and a community.
Or maybe you’re concerned by what you see on the news.
Whatever your reason, those in Congress who oppose sensible change need to hear from you: Share your personal story or views on why Congress should act right now to help protect our kids and reduce gun violence.
Your story will inspire others to speak out and show legislators that now is the time.
President Obama said it: “More than a thousand birthdays, graduations, and anniversaries have been stolen from our lives by a bullet from a gun” in just the two months since the tragedy in Newtown.
Each of those families deserves a vote by Congress on commonsense measures to help protect our kids.
But we need to demand it.
It’s easy to share your story or point of view:
1. Provide your basic information. (Please note: For your privacy, we’ll only publish your city and your first name and last initial.)
2. If you have a photo or video you’d like to share, paste a link into that field. You can paste an Instagram or Twitter link, but cannot upload a photo directly.
3. In the final box, compose your personal story or views about reducing gun violence.
4. After you agree to the submission terms, hit the green “Tell Your Story” button. Our staff will review and post your submission.
Please share your story today:

This won’t be easy, but if we can save even one life, it’ll be worth it.

I am so anti-guns. We have very strict gun laws in South Africa. It has not reduced the number of gun related deaths at all. The number of legal weapons were greatly reduced, but the illegal weapons remain on the streets!
So how do you suggest those illegal guns are removed from your streets?
I am totally with you on this one. I am so sick of people equating “gun control” with “confiscation”.
I’m doing something right if we agree!!!
Reblogged this on idealisticrebel and commented:
It is now time for us to really took at all of the ramifications of a gun in the house.
Now is the time to ban all guns and assault weapons.
Amen
Exceptionally good. Hope you are well. I have been busy. It is cold and snowing here. Yuck. I entered a photo contest the Cleveland paper is running. I could maybe win a cruise.
Oh wow, a cruise….just make sure you be careful cause Carnival has had lots of trouble lately, if your cruise is on one of the Carnival Cruise Lines ships. Good luck!!
