In 2023 alone, the United States witnessed over 600 mass shootings, and the devastating toll of gun violence continues to rise. Join us in the fight to protect Vermonters from the dangers of assault weapons. Sign our petition today to urge our elected leaders to pass a ban and make our communities safer for everyone.

We, the undersigned, call on Governor Scott and the Vermont General Assembly to take immediate action to ban the purchase of assault weapons in our state. Assault weapons, designed for rapid fire and maximum damage, have no place in our communities and pose a grave threat to public safety.

Studies show that states with stronger gun laws, including restrictions on assault weapons, have significantly lower rates of gun deaths. By enacting a ban on these dangerous firearms, Vermont can join the ranks of states that prioritize the safety of their citizens. We urge our elected leaders to act swiftly and decisively to protect our families and prevent further tragedies.
