                    SENSIBLE GUN SAFETY LEGISLATION

  (Mr. HIGGINS of New York asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. HIGGINS of New York. Madam Speaker, in the House Oversight and 
Reform Committee this morning, we heard compelling testimony from 
individuals that had been directly affected by gun violence.
  The Buffalo Police Commissioner, Joseph Gramaglia, and also Zeneta 
Everhart provided testimony that is clear and compelling.
  The Buffalo shooting that took place, the shooting started at 2:30 in 
the afternoon and ended 2 minutes and 3 seconds later; one shooter, one 
weapon of mass destruction, 13 people shot, 10 people dead.
  We need sensible gun safety legislation in this country. When you 
look at the need for background checks, that doesn't violate anybody's 
constitutional rights; but it affirms the right of people to live 
freely, to live safely, to live in a prosperous way in our 
neighborhoods and throughout the country.
