33,636 points of heartbreak…one year of gun deaths in America and what you can do.

It’s hard to even conceive of what 33,636 deaths looks like…

These blocks of guns, each little gun symbol representing a death, is for all us visual learners out there. This amazing depiction of what 33,636 gun deaths a year really looks like is brought to us thanks to Matt Maughey. (Scroll through it in one solid block here )

But change is happening.

The public is truly done with “thoughts and prayers” as our only defense against urban warfare.

What happened in Vegas put the lie to NRA claims that good-people-with-guns in a crowd could always stop a shooting.

The NRA is grudgingly prepared to sacrifice bump stocks as truly the least they can do.

We are at a tipping point…

Demand more. Make these 3+ calls.

1. Stop the Insanity: NO on the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act – H.R.38

Minimal Script: I’m calling from [zip code] to ask Rep. [___] to vote NO on the Concealed Carry Reciprocity Act (H.R. 38).

More script if you want it: …which requires states to honor the concealed carry weapons permits of every other state, regardless of how lenient they might be, and would override federal restrictions on carrying a gun in a school zone and in federally owned public areas.

2. Ban bump stocks.

Minimal Script: I’m calling from [zip code] to support the “Automatic Gunfire Prevention Act” to ban the use and sale of bump stocks and any other “accessories” which effectively convert a semi-automatic weapon into an automatic one.
