Mr. Speaker, with Mother's Day coming, I am thinking about the one-in-a-million woman who raised my six siblings and me. I have never before spoken about my mother on the House floor, but today I celebrate our beautiful mom, Mary Eaton…
It also occurred to me that the gun pointed at my chest could have been a ghost gun.
I am so proud that we were finally able to do something, some small things around gun violence.
What CeaseFire does--and I know this personally because I was a State representative--is work with doctors, with advocates, with elected officials at the State level, trying to change legislation to reduce gun violence.
