3 years since Newtown, just over a month since San Bernadino and Colorado Springs...

...and w the dark memories of shootings of every scale and in every city hovering over us constantly, it’s time for change. #StopGunViolence

#Gunviolence in the US runs the gambit motivations, from mental illness...

...to religious extremism, to political extremism, to disastrous accidents. But they all involve a firearm. #StopGunViolence

The reality is that gun violence is an epidemic & the @NRA, along w those who blindly follow it, are deeply out of touch. #StopGunViolence

When another tragedy strikes, @HouseGOP reliably call for moments of silence here on the floor. #StopGunViolence

While I support remembering victims, I cannot support silence where action is needed. #StopGunViolence

Silence is wht keeps weapons on our streets. Silence is the reason we’ve lost friends, sons, daughters, brothers & sisters.#StopGunViolence
