REMEMBERING ARIELLE DIAMOND ANDERSON, BRIAN FRASER, AND ALEXANDRIA
VERNER
(Mr. THANEDAR asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. THANEDAR. Mr. Speaker, today I stand before this body to remind
Congress of the following names:
Arielle Diamond Anderson, Brian Fraser, Alexandria Verner.
The lives of these three students were brutally taken from us this
month on the campus of Michigan State University. Arielle Anderson and
Brian Fraser were students at schools in my district.
Although this tragedy has personal significance for me today, it is a
sad truth that until our country recognizes the sickness of gun
violence, we will continue to have tragedies like this. These incidents
are all too common in this country. We as a Congress must ensure and
demand that these atrocities never happen again.
It is past due that we pass sensible gun laws that expand safe
storage regulations, reform red flag laws, and improve access to mental
health care.
Mr. Speaker, we can't keep living like this. We must act now.
