On the recordNovember 8, 2023
My colleagues on the other side of the aisle will make this about criminal-on-criminal activity. One of the core tenets of this office is for community violence intervention, one of the only such programs in our country that go into communities, find out people who are most likely to shoot someone, and people who are most likely to be shot, create relationships, and intervene before the violence happens. This office is working to solve exactly the problem that was just iterated by the other side. I hope if my colleagues follow their own logic that they will vote ``no'' on this amendment so we can save lives across the entire country.
