                              GUN VIOLENCE

gun violence and supporters of gun reform to hold our own sit-in, in 
Carl Schurz Park, protesting the fact that this Congress has not acted 
on sensible gun violence reform. No more moments of silence. We want 
action on the floor to protect our people.
  We heard from many victims like Kim Russell. Her life was spared, but 
her friend was murdered when robbers broke into their home. She lives 
in fear that the attacker will get his hands on another gun and kill 
other people.
  We need to answer to Kim and to the families of the 49 gunned down in 
Orlando and to the thousands of other victims of gun violence and the 
hundreds of other victims that are outside today on the steps of the 
Capitol urging us to vote, urging us to act.
  Have a vote. If you want to vote against it, fine, but let's have a 
vote on two sensible bills: no fly, no buy, and comprehensive 
background checks. Let's protect our people. Let's act on sensible gun 
protection.
