Last night ten individuals, including a local police officer, were murdered in Boulder, CO by an individual with an assault weapon. Until recently assault weapons were banned by the city of Boulder, but only a week ago, the NRA claimed victory when a court ruling stripped Boulder, CO of their local ban on AR-15 rifles and high capacity magazines.
We must take action to stop the NRA from making our communities less safe. Today the Senate Judiciary Committee is holding a hearing on gun violence prevention. Tell our federally elected officials it’s time for gun reform in America. Take Action Today!
