I thank the chair for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise today for the more than 100,000 Americans who every year are impacted by gun violence, and I rise today to give voice to the overwhelming majority of the American people who support universal background checks. Communities in Colorado have experienced the tragedy and the grief of gun violence far too many times--Columbine, Aurora, Highlands Ranch. Mr. Speaker, enough is enough. We have lost too many parents, friends, neighbors, students, and children to gun violence. This Congress must act, which is why I support H.R. 8. We must act on gun violence. We must pass H.R. 8, and we must send it to President Biden's desk.
