My name --
No More Names: The Drive to Reduce Gun Violence Friday marks six months since the mass shooting in Newtown, CT. It also marks six months of inaction from Congress.
That's why we're launching an ambitious, nationwide bus tour that will bring survivors and supporters directly to members of Congress across the country.
No More Names: The Drive to Reduce Gun Violence will visit 25 states in 100 days. We will stand in front of the local offices of members of Congress and read the names of Americans murdered with guns since Newtown, who number more than 5,000 and counting. They need to hear that every day they delay reform, more people will die.
Please make a donation of $33 or more to support the No More Names drive.
The drive begins this Friday, in Newtown. Mayors Against Illegal Guns is organizing a day of remembrance with family members of victims. We're coming together to remember those who were lost at Sandy Hook Elementary, and to rally in support of reducing gun violence.
Every day, 33 people are murdered with guns in this country.
This past April, a minority of U.S. senators voted to block bipartisan legislation that would have saved lives by requiring criminal background checks for all commercial gun sales.
We can do better.
Your donation will go to convince our elected leaders that the time to fix our broken gun laws is now.
Please give $33 or more today to support No More Names: The Drive to Reduce Gun Violence:

P.S. -- If you are going to be in the Newtown area on Friday, please RSVP to join us for the day of remembrance.
That’s why we’re launching an ambitious, nationwide bus tour...
Bring it!
Should have been honest. Ask for $666.00.
8^D
A lot more people die in car accidents every day
We must ban cars...
Sorry Mayors. No toucha da 2A. Period.
Give them 666.66 in Zimbabwe dollars.....That would be worth hundRETHS of a penny.
Funnily enough Mayors Against Illegal Guns are all for Illegal Immigration and I’ll bet my bindle most of them have made their cities “sanctuary cities”....
Hmm what drives crimes, illegal immigration or guns.... Especially violent crime???? That is the question it is not allowed to ask in this PC world...
It ought to be “Mayors Against Gun free Zones.” Lord, you gave them eyes but they remain willfully blind....
Roughly 16,000,000 guns sold in America in 2012 or a little over 43,800 per day.
8583 (2011) killed by guns in one year.
23 people die each day from gun crimes.
So out of the 43,800 guns sold every day .00052% end up killing someone.
About 17,000,000 cars sold in the US in 2012 or a little over 46,500 per day.
32,365 deaths per year by automobiles.
88 deaths per day.
Out of 43800 autos sold every day .001892% end up killing someone.
There’s roughly 230,000,000 cars in the US.
There’s roughly 300,000,000 guns in the US.
There’s 24% fewer automobiles than guns in the US yet automobiles kill three times as many people as guns per day.
I’m just saying...
Instead, how about reading the names of Americans whose lives were saved by guns in the same time period? Guess that would take too long.
