Mr. Speaker, I am prayerful today, and finally today, that I can come on the floor of the House and say to the victims of gun violence and say to those who lost their lives, and to their families, that I can be on the floor of the House today, not just saying, I give you my thoughts and my prayers; not just saying, I want to send to you my sympathies. I can't tell you how tired I have been coming to the floor, feeling hurt in my heart, and all I could say is thoughts and prayers. Today I can vote on something that is going to make a meaningful difference to each and every one of them.
