  IT IS TIME FOR CONGRESS TO STAND UP AGAINST GUN VIOLENCE IN SCHOOLS

  (Ms. SHEA-PORTER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute.)
  Ms. SHEA-PORTER. Mr. Speaker, today we stood up again for a moment of 
silence because there was violence in schools, and we know this has 
happened repeatedly since Newtown.
  These families are waiting for us to do something. They are waiting 
for Congress to do something. They don't want us to keep standing up 
for a moment of silence. They want us to stand up for a vote.
  I call on Speaker Boehner to bring some legislation to the floor. We 
have legislation, good legislation that can help prevent some of this 
terrible tragedy. So let's work together and start addressing this 
terrible program that is impacting so many people in our country.
