I have zero Republican cosponsors for that bill. We are well over 100.

Gun violence is an American problem, that is traumatizing families in every corner of every community across this great land.

That senseless violence is not inevitable. It is enabled by lawmakers who choose to sow chaos with political stunts like this hearing instead of doing their damn jobs.

I have got a bill called Raise the Age, which would lift it from 18-21 years old, for you to be old enough to buy an assault weapon.

Our Republican colleagues are deaf to those cries.

we should be passing bills to invest in public safety and better law enforcement, bills that we know will saves lives from gun violence, and bills that address the root causes of violent crime.

There are zero Republican sponsors for that bill. I think it is 150-plus or something on the Democratic side.

Chair Jordan has not convened the House Judiciary Committee in the city of Brotherly Love and Sisterly Affection to explore how Congress can help to reduce violent crime in Philadelphia or anywhere else.

the only place gun safety laws, like extreme risk protection orders, are partisan is in the Capitol buildings.

Homicides in Philadelphia this year to date are down 35 percent from last year, and down 16 percent from five years ago.

the majority has insisted that we go to Philadelphia, the fourth stop in a tour of cities that Republicans have selected as they try to distract from the fact that they have no meaningful solutions to make our country safer.

Philadelphia has had 35 percent fewer homicides, more than a third less than it did during the same period in 2023.
