                        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.
