“I thank the gentleman from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for his words of wisdom and for his statistical data. And just to add to the conversation is that we have not counted those who were injured in all of these gun violence episodes across this Nation, those who have been traumatized by exposure to such carnage that is unfolding right before their very eyes. There are individuals in hospitals right now, as we speak, trying to recover from the most horrific gun violence that has ever hit their communities. We don't know that all of them will heal, and, you know, this should be motivation to everyone in this Chamber to act. We are all just a moment away from a tragic occurrence. And as a matter of fact, it wasn't that long ago that our colleagues were set upon at a Congressional Baseball Game practice. It boggles the mind. You have to ask yourself, where is the sanity when individuals who were gunned down at a Congressional Baseball Game practice have not mustered up the courage to bring a bill to the floor? Unbelievable. Unforgivable. Having said that, I yield to the gentlewoman from North Carolina, Alma Adams, the 12th District, who is an advocate as well for commonsense gun measures in this Nation to come and bring her comments at this time.”
