“America doesn't have to be the only country where mass shootings occur, sometimes daily. Sometimes I hear people say, ``Well, it is a mental health problem.'' I will tell you what, people have mental health problems in countries all over the world, but only one country has mass shootings the way America does. We need to have an answer to this. The killer that killed my constituents at the Gilroy Garlic Festival couldn't buy the assault weapon in California, so he just went over to Nevada and bought it there. We need a national answer. We know it works. When the last ban expired, the number of mass shooting deaths increased by 483 percent. Americans deserve to be safe and to be free, free of fear that when their kids go to school, they will be obliterated. We need to put the American people ahead of politics. We need to put American children ahead of politics. We need to vote ``yes.''”
