VOTE ON GUN LEGISLATION
(Ms. ESTY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute.)
Ms. ESTY. Mr. Speaker, the American people deserve and the American
people demand a vote on commonsense, bipartisan gun safety legislation.
During the 7 weeks that Congress was in recess, thousands of
Americans were killed by guns. Each one of those Americans was
precious. They had family, loved ones, coworkers, and neighbors. In the
3 years and 9 months since 26 people were killed in my district--20
first-graders, six teachers and educators--we have had not one debate,
not one vote on this legislation.
The time has come. The time is now. We demand a vote.
