“A person sends their child to school and expects that they are going to come home safely. I am so sad for the grieving families of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland. Innocent children--gone in a blink. I am thankful for the first responders, but foremost, my thoughts are with the grieving families, the students, and the teachers affected by this horrific shooting. We see this carnage over and over again. We know there is no magic solution, but that doesn't mean that there are no solutions. We need more resources for mental health, not tax cuts for billionaires. And, yes, Mr. President, are you listening? We need commonsense gun safety legislation, not these idiotic bills that expand gun usage. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mrs. Handel). Members are reminded to please address their remarks to the Chair and not to a viewing audience. ____________________”
