Mike Thompson actually said...

"I want to tell the testifiers and the people that came today, I sincerely appreciate all of you coming here."

"I hope you realize that we all care. We want to reduce gun violence."

"We need to reduce this and not have more moments of silence and deep thoughts and prayers. We have had enough of that. We need action."

"We hope again that as this debate continues, that we realize that doing nothing is not acceptable."
