Political Quotes

“Not even a month into this New Year and I am already on the floor, once again, begging the same question: What will it take to stop the relentless pace of mass shootings? Three mass shootings in California in just 3 days. Three different men of three different ages used guns to murder their own neighbors or coworkers. Beyond the tragedies in California, there are victims of gun violence every day in every State. Regardless of our politics, we cannot continue to live and die this way. We must do more. We must do more for the victims. We must do more for the communities shattered. We must do more for the families left to grieve. Each mass shooting is a glaring violation of our inalienable rights-- life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. According to the 97 percent, a bipartisan group of gun owners and non-gun owners, 70 percent of gun owners want to help reduce gun injuries and deaths. There are a lot of ways we can combat the cruel epidemic of gun violence, but what we cannot do is nothing. We must all find the courage to act. ____________________”
