Mr. Speaker, 90 people a day are killed by a firearm in the United States of America. That is more than 33,000 families devastated by gun violence last year. Those are statistics. I want to tell you and read the names of real people in my hometown whose families got that dreaded, unimaginable knock on the door: Jacob Walsh, age 25; Greg Bryant, Jr., age 21; Zedward Jackson, age 52; Gary Martin, age 52; Ledarius Fitzgerald, age 18; Herman Denis, age 18; Jack Bellino, age 28; Courtney McGriff, age 29; James Cartigiano, age 16; Anne Nau, age 21. And the list goes on. Who will get the next knock on the door? ____________________
