John Garamendi said "I thank the minority leader. I am delighted to have the gentlewoman's leadership on this issue. It is profoundly important. I understand tomorrow, at 10 o'clock, 91 people will be outside, together with many members of our caucus, to demonstrate that each day 91 people are killed by guns here in the United States. So we have work to do. It is very simple. All we are asking for is a vote on a no fly, no buy bill that actually works--not the Cornyn bill, not the Republican bill, but one that actually works, put together by Mr. King of New York and Mr. Thompson of California--and also a bill that deals with expanding the background check. Put them on the floor, Mr. Speaker. And one more, I promise, Mr. Speaker, we are not going to go away until the American public has the safe gun measures written into law. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time. ___________________
