Since the assault weapons ban expired in 2004, mass shootings have skyrocketed and become deadlier. We can’t wait any longer to act. As president, Beto will work with Congress to ban the manufacturing, sale, and possession of military-style assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.

And Beto is calling for a mandatory buyback program for assault weapons. This is not going to be politically easy. But this campaign is focused on doing what is right, not what people tell us is possible.

If you’re ready for bold action to combat gun violence, add your name now.
