Political Quotes

We shouldn't allow terrorists who want to kill innocent Americans to have easy access to guns. It is just that simple, and that is just common sense. Yet, any individual on the no-fly list considered too dangerous to get on a plane can walk into any gun store in America and walk out with a weapon of their choice. We are facing an epidemic of gun violence in this country, yet House Republican leadership is unwilling to even close the most dangerous loophole like this one that exists today.

The cost of inaction in Congress is borne by thousands of mourning families here in America. It is time for Congress to step up and take meaningful action by closing the terrorist gun loophole and keeping dangerous people from buying guns. ____________________
