Patrick Leahy actually said...

"I am angry that today too many in Congress are just willing to accept these mass shootings as another breaking news story."

"Gun violence is an epidemic. It can't be ignored, it can't be overstated, it can't be hidden behind the guise of an unassailable Second Amendment argument."

"How many more people will die before this country says, enough is enough? I will say it today. It is enough."

"We all know that it is a crisis, but we need to do something about it."
