Mr. President, I thank the Senator for the time she has taken to talk about each of these beautiful individuals--these young men and women who went to a dance club to celebrate their lives and their friends and Pride Month and who will…

I thank the Senator for that question. You just have to look to the data for the answer. We have had pretty robust survey data on the question of support for expanding background checks or support for denying access to guns for people on…

I thank the Senator for a question that is unanswerable. The answer is we cannot. As you know, there is a very real, palpable fear out there today. There is no way to look at what happened in San Bernardino, to look at what happened in…

I thank the Senator for the question. I just want to acknowledge we have had a number of House Members come to the floor of the Senate today to support our effort. Congressman Richmond, a good friend of mine and of Senator Booker, who has…

I thank the Senator for his remarks. I thank him for his focus on assault weapons. We are asking for two different proposals to come before the Senate, not one on banning assault weapons, but it remains a passion of many of us. One of the…

It doesn't seem to make much sense. For the question, we can only imagine what that court process looks like. Who knows what rules apply, who knows what the rights to discovery are.

I thank the Senator from Delaware who, earlier on the floor, talked about this notion that ISIS is on retreat inside the Middle East, and they have only a handful of motivations remaining for people to join their movement. No longer is the…
