On the recordOctober 25, 2017
Mr. Speaker, it has been almost 1 month since the mass shooting in Las Vegas occurred; 58 dead, more than 500 injured, many from California--the deadliest shooting in our history. And here we are, 1 month later, and I am ashamed to say that this Congress has not taken a single action to prevent the next shooting. After the shooting, 64 Republicans signed a letter to ATF, asking ATF to regulate bump stocks. ATF just notified us that it could not act. It could not act. The ball is back in our court. Will those Members act now? Representative Cicilline has introduced a commonsense bill to ban bump stocks. If you signed the letter, you should cosponsor the bill. It is that simple. What are you waiting for? Mr. Speaker, there are some problems that we cannot solve, but this one is not one of those. ____________________
