“This is one of many amendments I have come to debate this Congress where it seems like it was just written by the gun industry and the gun manufacturers. It is disappointing. When gun violence happens, it doesn't matter if you are a Democrat or a Republican. Bullets don't care who you voted for. It impacts every single one of us in all of our districts. I am member of Gen Z, but I call my generation the mass shooting generation. When I visit the schools in my district, they tell me they go through more school shooter drills than fire drills. In fact, we just had a shooting at the Florida State University where a student used a retired service weapon to go into the school and kill people. This is not what we need to be doing at this time. We can argue on the merits of the CMP and the work they do on gun safety. Adding another priority where they can sell more guns with less restrictions in our country, where we have this problem where we lose over 100 lives a day due to gun violence, is disgraceful. My hope is everyone will vote 'no' on this amendment.”
