COMPREHENSIVE GUN REFORM
(Mr. JEFFRIES asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Mr. JEFFRIES. Madam Speaker, this week, House Democrats have led the
effort to pass comprehensive gun violence prevention legislation to
address this epidemic here in America. We will also ensure that the
American people know the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the
truth with respect to the violent insurrection and attack on our
Capitol to protect the integrity of our democracy.
At the same time, we continue to fight for good-paying jobs, to lower
costs and ensure an economy that works for everyday Americans. We
believe in a country where if you work hard and play by the rules, you
should be able to provide a comfortable living for yourself and for
your family, educate your children, purchase a home, and retire with
grace and dignity. That is the great American Dream that we are
fighting to preserve for the people.
