How to Help Pittsburgh Synagogue Attack Victims
5 Things You Can Do in the Wake of the Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooting

The gunman who killed 11 Jews on Sunday had an AR-15 style assault rifle. Why? Because they are easy to get and cause a ton of damage very quickly. I don't expect Congress to suddenly pass a law banning all firearms, nor am I asking them to. I am urging them to start with little things that will make a big impact on the number of lives lost to senseless violence, like banning the purchase and sale of assault weapons and high capacity ammunition magazines, establishing universal background checks, and restoring funding to the CDC for research on gun violence. You can urge them to, too.
