On the recordJune 8, 2022
Later this month, 30 years to the day, my father was shot and killed by senseless gun violence. And so I rise today with a heavy heart for those who have been murdered by gun violence and the survivors who now must live with that trauma every single day. I have a heavy heart for the 58 victims and survivors in my hometown of Las Vegas who experienced the worst mass shooting in U.S. history. I have a heavy heart for the parents and families in Uvalde, Texas, whose children were murdered while at school. I have a heavy heart for the Black Americans who were murdered at a grocery store in Buffalo, New York. I have a heavy heart for the doctors and nurses who were killed at a hospital in Tulsa. I have a heavy heart. But I also have the courage to protect our children, and I will continue to work to break the cycle of violence. The question is: Do my colleagues have the courage to protect our kids? Vote ``yes'' on this legislation.
