Stopping gun violence takes courage, the courage do what`s right. We must never stop fighting, fight, fight, fight.
It is time. In Congress, we sit here with the ability and the power to do something, and history will not be kind to us if we continue to allow the gun lobby to buy us and sell us.
For me is really important to move ahead, to not look back. I hope others are inspired to keep moving forward, no matter what.
Based on similar gun control measures in states like California, H.R. 8 would not deter a criminal from engaging in criminal activity, and it won't decrease gun crime.
