     FIVE YEARS OF MFOL AND PERSISTENCE OF GUN VIOLENCE PREVENTION

  (Mr. SCHNEIDER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SCHNEIDER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to declare that our calls 
for gun violence prevention will not stop until we see real action to 
keep our kids and communities safe from senseless shootings plaguing 
our Nation.
  Madam Speaker, ten years ago, after Sandy Hook, grieving parents came 
to this place and called for urgent action.
  Five years ago this Friday, student survivors of the shooting at 
Marjorie Stoneman Douglas High School led millions of fellow students 
in the first March for Our Lives calling for urgent action.
  Yet still here we are, after Pulse, after Las Vegas, Buffalo, Uvalde, 
Highland Park, Monterey Park, and literally countless other shootings 
and so many beautiful lives cut short.
  This morning, my sister texted me, ``two teachers shot'' at the 
Denver school my niece and nephews attend. It was their second shooting 
this year, in addition to four other lockdowns.
  Enough is enough. Together with March for Our Lives, Moms Demand 
Action, Everytown, Sandy Hook Promise, Giffords, and every other 
concerned American, we will not stop our calls for action until our 
families feel safe in our schools, in our pews, at our stores, at our 
Fourth of July parades.
