                     GUN VIOLENCE VICTIMS FROM OHIO

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROBIN L. KELLY

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 5, 2018

   Ms. KELLY of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I rise today because Americans 
continue to die from gun violence while this House is on vacation.
   For more than a year, I've been coming to the House Floor to read 
the names of gun violence victims that this House--the People's House--
has failed by our inability to act and save lives.
   To date, I've read 2,213 names. Each one of them, an American whose 
life and family have been immeasurably changed forever.
   And what has the response from this House been? Silence. Nothing but 
cold silence.
   Do these names make my colleagues uncomfortable?
   Do they remind them that real people are impacted by gun violence on 
a daily basis?
   Do these names give them a moment of pause before they gleefully 
accept that next NRA check?
   Mr. Speaker, today, I want to recognize gun violence victims from 
Ohio, a state that the NRA has poured tens of thousands of dollars into 
over this cycle.
   These are the names of 163 Ohioans, from just four Congressional 
Districts, who've been impacted by gun violence.
   These people have been shot, many have lost their lives, and still 
this House majority does nothing to prevention gun violence. The 
Majority only offers `thoughts and prayers' while families continue to 
be torn apart. That's just wrong.
   Mr. Speaker, here are the names of those 163 Ohioans that this House 
has failed:
