THE E-MAIL MESSAGE:

Dear Representative or Senator ________________,

I am writing to you today to urge you to cosponsor and pass Ethan's Law.

After 15-year-old  Ethan Song was killed by an unsecured gun at his best friend's home in 2018, Ethan's mother Kristin and his father Mike have been working with Newtown Action Alliance to pass Ethan's Law, the bill Representative Rosa DeLauro (CT) and Senator Richard Blumenthal (CT) sponsored to keep children safe from unsecured guns. 

Ethan's Law (HR660 and S173 in 118th Congress) will be reintroduced next Tuesday, February 24, 2025. I thank you if you have already cosponsored this bill. If you have not yet signed on then I urge you to contact Caitlin Peruccio (Caitlin.Peruccio@mail.house.gov) from Representative DeLauro's office and Devyn Hewitt (devyn_hebert@judiciary-dem.senate.gov) from Senator Blumenthal's office to sign on as an original cosponsor of this crucial lifesaving legislation. The deadline is February 24th.

A 2019 survey by APM Research Lab found that:
-A two-thirds majority of gun-owners supports mandated locked gun storage, including the 45% who strongly support such a mandate
-Nearly eight in 10 Americans support mandating that guns are stored with a lock in place
83% of women and 74% men supported a gun storage mandate
-Nearly seven in 10 Republicans, eight in 10 Independents, and nine in 10 Democrats, supported a locked gun mandate

Guns are the leading cause of death for American children and teens and 76% of school shooters get their guns from their homes or from their relatives.  There are at least 4.6 million unsecured guns in homes across the nation and eight children are shot every single day due to unsecured guns. 

Please cosponsor Ethan's Law today to protect our children from preventable tragedies. 

Thank you for your consideration.
