Thank you, Representative Scott, for laying out the steps that are being taken by the President in such a compelling way in explaining why they are items that we should all support as well as some of the steps that need to be taken legislatively by this Congress in order to deal with the fact that more than 10,000 Americans a year die as a result of gun violence-related homicides. I yield to the distinguished gentlewoman from California (Ms. Lee). She is an incredibly eloquent and passionate voice for the voiceless.

I yield now to Congresswoman Barbara Lee.
