                        GUN VIOLENCE LEGISLATION

  (Mrs. CAPPS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. CAPPS. Mr. Speaker, today I also rise on behalf of the families 
who have lost loved ones to gun violence, including in my very own 
district in Isla Vista, California, on May 23, 2014. That horrific act 
killed 6 and injured 14--young people full of life and promise: 
Katherine Cooper, Veronica Weiss, Christopher Martinez, Cheng Yuan 
Hong, George Chen, and Weihan Wang.
  When these lives were tragically cut short, our community banded 
together to say ``Not One More'' life should be lost due to gun 
violence. But that message has fallen on deaf ears with the leadership 
of this House, resulting in countless Americans wondering each day if 
their community will be next. This is simply unacceptable. We cannot 
delay action any longer.
  Mr. Speaker, this House must vote on a bill to address the gun 
violence epidemic in our country. Americans deserve a bill that will 
truly make our country safer, and they deserve a bill that seeks to 
ensure ``Not One More'' can become a reality.
