                    STOP THE SENSELESS GUN VIOLENCE

  (Ms. FRANKEL of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. FRANKEL of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I'm here because of Angel. Angel 
was just an ordinary teenager. She loved basketball. She liked to hang 
out. In fact, that's all she was doing on a balmy night in West Palm 
Beach, just hanging out, when she was violently killed by a man, devoid 
of humanity, armed with a gun.
  And so, instead of dressing Angel for her prom, her mother dressed 
her for her funeral. Instead of attending Angel's graduation, her 
family visited her gravesite.
  Isn't it time to take the guns out of the hands of criminals and 
madmen?

  Isn't it time for this Congress to stop the senseless gun violence?
  Mr. Speaker, let us vote.
