Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today because our Nation continues to have blood on its hands. This week, we, once again, bore witness to the senseless murder of dozens of innocent people where States like California experienced three mass shootings in just 44 hours. How many more sisters, brothers, siblings, parents, grandparents, and loved ones have to be senselessly shot and killed? That doesn't sound like freedom to me. Our people deserve the freedom to live without the fear of gun violence, the freedom to go to the grocery store, to school, and to live life for God's sakes. When will we stop valuing guns more than human life? Can anyone in this Chamber look a parent in the eyes who just lost a child due to gun violence and tell them that their child isn't worth meaningful action? Because I won't. Yet, here we are today, another shooting, another day, and another community devastated due to senseless gun violence. ____________________”
