It is particularly pernicious and outrageous to take an 11-year-old child, who graphically described how she spread a classmates' blood upon her and feign her own death, to make her relive that.

my Democrat colleagues made it clear that they don't believe any American should have access to the means to protect themselves and their families.

Last week I thought I had heard it all when one of the Democrats threatened to end the filibuster, wanted to pack the Supreme Court, and said that they would confiscate guns.

Their proposed solutions are to force law enforcement officers to ignore due process and restrict law-abiding citizens to have the means to protect themselves and their families from threats.

It is time to give them the tools and help them to better protect those children so they have a fighting chance to survive an encounter with someone who is bent on harming them.

I will not yield my opposition to these unconstitutional laws.

From June 1950 through June 2019, 94 percent of mass shootings occurred in gun free zones.

Schools should be hard targets. Violent criminals should never, ever have been able to gain access to the inside of the schools.

That is a proven fact and just commonsense that applies across multiple aspects of life.

I am absolutely convinced that the single most effective method to eliminate school shootings is to take away all the signs that declare all schools are gun free zones.

Many of you are the ones implying that a lot of victims would be alive today but for a mass shooter's pistol grip and a background check that he already passed.
