                             SANTA CLARITA

  (Mr. LEVIN of California asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LEVIN of California. Madam Speaker, I rise today to address yet 
another tragic school shooting. Yesterday, a gunman killed two students 
and wounded three others in Santa Clarita, California.
  While we continue to gather the facts and pray for everyone in that 
California community, we must also continue to fight for action on gun 
violence.
  It has been 261 days since the House passed the Bipartisan Background 
Checks Act. That bill is buried in Mitch McConnell's legislative 
graveyard. In that time, at least 320 mass shootings have occurred.
  While I don't expect Senate Republicans to agree with every word of 
every bill that we pass here in the House, I do expect them to do their 
job. They need to hold hearings. They need to have a vote.
  The American people deserve better.
