                            ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

  (Mr. POLIS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. POLIS. Mr. Speaker, Sandy Hook, Colorado Springs, San Bernardino. 
How many mass shootings or terrorist attacks will it take for Congress 
to act to reduce gun violence?
  We are not talking about infringing upon our important Second 
Amendment rights, no gun registries, or privacy evaluations. No. We are 
talking about commonsense reforms to make it harder for terrorists and 
criminals to get the weapons that allow them to kill people: universal 
background checks, closing the gun show loophole, making sure that 
people on the terrorist watch list can't quietly assemble arsenals to 
do the American people harm.
  No congressional action can end gun violence, but we can reduce it. 
We can save lives. We can prevent mass shootings. We can prevent 
terrorists from assembling the weapons they need to kill innocent 
Americans.
  Enough is enough.
