Madam Speaker, as someone who lost one of my own siblings to suicide by a gun, I personally am proud to stand in this Chamber today in her memory, Carmen, to see my bill come to a vote. This measure is popular, bipartisan, and common sense. That may be why Republican Senators have introduced similar legislation in the past, to incentivize States to expand red flag laws and support States that already have them. There is no bill that we can pass that would be the panacea to solve our violence overnight, but with this measure and those that we passed yesterday, we can make a major difference. We need to do this now.
