                      GUN VIOLENCE ACROSS MARYLAND

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from 
Maryland (Ms. Edwards) for 5 minutes.
  Ms. EDWARDS. Mr. Speaker, in 280 days, Maryland has lost 301 lives to 
gun violence. That is 301 families that have lost mothers, fathers, 
brothers, sisters, sons, and daughters to domestic violence, mental 
health, and just plain old violence with a gun.
  It is time for my colleagues to stand up to listen, to take on the 
National Rifle Association, and to stop the flood of gun violence that 
is ravaging our communities in Maryland and across the country.
  Let's do that in the names of:
