Ron Wyden: “We are grateful to have such passionate and wonderful Senators join us today to share their views.”

My heart goes out to the innocent victims of today’s horrific shooting at Silver Rail Elementary School and their loved ones now facing the awful consequences of yet another school shooting in America. The best way to honor these victims…

These unsung heroes deserve recognition for their tireless efforts to keep our communities safe and healthy, and I’m honored to be leading this effort in Congress.

As Congress debates solutions to protect our privacy and civil liberties, the MITRE report could provide important information about how these cameras and other surveillance programs are already impacting Americans’ rights.

The best way to honor these victims is to at long last pass common-sense gun laws that reduce the risks of more children, parents, teachers and staff forced to live in fear of similar nightmares for their schools.
