Lizzie Fletcher said "Each day, 100 Americans are killed by guns; 100 mothers mourn the loss of a child; 100 siblings lose a playmate; 100 friends lose a confidant; and 100 communities are left reeling--all in 1 day. These deaths are 25 times more likely in the United States than in any other high-income country, and we have seen that in the news day after day and week after week. One hundred days ago, this House passed the Bipartisan Background Checks Act. One hundred deaths per 100 days--how much longer can we stand to wait? It is time for the Senate to act--not one more day, not 100 more lives. ___________________
