                   ANOTHER CHILD LOST TO GUN VIOLENCE

  (Mr. LEWIS of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LEWIS of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, this morning I rise with a heavy 
heart. Yesterday, another child, another baby, lost her life to gun 
violence. This sad day, this great tragedy is made worse by the fact 
that this little girl was killed by another child.
  How long will we tolerate gun violence? How long will we tolerate 
children killing children? Mr. Speaker, how long will it take for this 
House to demonstrate raw courage and pass real gun control legislation.
  This morning, as we take a moment to consider our failure and to 
grieve this family's loss, we must not forget to take the time out to 
teach our children the way of peace, the way of nonviolence, to teach 
them the way of love.
