  • Summary

  • In the wake of the mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, America is reacting as we have come to expect. Thoughts and prayers are offered, as they should be. Communities come together, as they should, in vigils to remember those lost and injured and to remind ourselves that we shouldn’t keep letting this happen. But the tragedies keep happening, while one thing that we know can reduce mass shootings has not been done: reinstating the ban on assault weapons and the limit on high-capacity magazines that were in effect from 1994 to 2004.

    In a powerful commentary originally published in TIME, President Bill Clinton calls on elected officials to reinstate the assault weapons ban and the ammunition limit, and make improved background checks universal. And at this crucial moment for America, he urges all of us to stand against - not inflame - the racial, religious, and gender-based bigotries that often drive mass killers.
