                              GUN VIOLENCE

  (Mr. FROST asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FROST. Mr. Speaker, I rise today because our Nation continues to 
have blood on its hands. This week, we, once again, bore witness to the 
senseless murder of dozens of innocent people where States like 
California experienced three mass shootings in just 44 hours.
  How many more sisters, brothers, siblings, parents, grandparents, and 
loved ones have to be senselessly shot and killed?
  That doesn't sound like freedom to me. Our people deserve the freedom 
to live without the fear of gun violence, the freedom to go to the 
grocery store, to school, and to live life for God's sakes.
  When will we stop valuing guns more than human life?
  Can anyone in this Chamber look a parent in the eyes who just lost a 
child due to gun violence and tell them that their child isn't worth 
meaningful action?
  Because I won't.
  Yet, here we are today, another shooting, another day, and another 
community devastated due to senseless gun violence.
