Demand a Plan


It’s time. Join more than 750 mayors and 750,000 grassroots supporters to demand that President Obama and Congress step forward with a plan to end gun violence.

Our efforts cannot bring back the 20 innocent children murdered in Newtown, CT -- or the 34 people murdered with guns every day in America. But we can prevent future tragedies by passing common sense legislation that will:
  • Require a criminal background check for every gun sold in America
  • Ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines
  • Make gun trafficking a federal crime, including real penalties for “straw purchasers”
Demand that your members of Congress and the president support these legislative priorities. See Mayor Bloomberg's Organization. (Thanks, Tom)
