VICTIMS OF GUN VIOLENCE
(Ms. FRANKEL of Florida asked and was given permission to address the
[[Page H4479]]
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. FRANKEL of Florida. Mr. Speaker, 90 people a day are killed by a
firearm in the United States of America. That is more than 33,000
families devastated by gun violence last year. Those are statistics. I
want to tell you and read the names of real people in my hometown whose
families got that dreaded, unimaginable knock on the door:
Jacob Walsh, age 25;
Greg Bryant, Jr., age 21;
Zedward Jackson, age 52;
Gary Martin, age 52;
Ledarius Fitzgerald, age 18;
Herman Denis, age 18;
Jack Bellino, age 28;
Courtney McGriff, age 29;
James Cartigiano, age 16;
Anne Nau, age 21.
And the list goes on. Who will get the next knock on the door?
