On the recordApril 8, 2021
Every day in this country, 316 people are shot, every single day. One hundred six of them die every day. Our flag was still flying at half-staff for the horrific murder of eight primarily Asian-American people in Georgia when ten more lives were taken in a mass murder in Colorado. You probably didn't hear it, but between those two incidents, less than one week apart, there were more than 850 additional shootings, 850, that took the lives of more than 250 people and left 500, 500 injured. This is an epidemic, for God's sake, and it has to stop.
