2 years ago, I was standing at a rally where the father of a gunshot victim, a father who lost his son to gun violence, spoke of all the things that he and others are doing to stop this senseless scourge, things that they are already doing.

And tens of thousands of people, as if they had rehearsed it a hundred times, all said, together, ``Nothing.'' ``But what is Congress doing?'' ``Nothing.'' Madam Speaker, for too long, Congress has done nothing. We have passed bills here in the House that take the right steps, but this alone is not enough. The Senate needs to do their job, and we need to make them law. Thoughts and prayers won't cut it, only action saves lives. ____________________
