Please note: This email contains descriptions of gun
violence and may be upsetting for some readers.

Horrifying.

That's the only word to describe my experience at the
Gilroy Garlic Festival last week.

My wife Judy and I were at the Festival in Gilroy,
California when a shooter opened fire and killed 3 people while
injuring many others. We weren't far from the shooter as we heard
the loud "pops" and ran for safety.

Judy and I are safe - thank God - and we are
praying for the victims, as well as all those affected by this
shooting and their families. We also are very grateful for law
enforcement who took quick action and to the festival staff who
dealt with the aftermath.

But Gilroy isn't alone. This weekend we saw mass shootings
in El Paso and Dayton. Communities and neighborhoods all across
the country are suffering from gun violence and we must put an
end to it.

On average 100 Americans are killed with guns every day.
This number is sickening, and we can and must do more to stop the
gun violence epidemic and heal as a nation.

We must strengthen and expand background checks for gun
sales, fund gun violence prevention research, and ban large
capacity ammunition magazines on semi-automatic assault weapons.

These aren't just bipartisan proposals, they're plain
common sense.

It's time for us to take action and stop the gun violence
epidemic so we can protect our communities and keep Americans
safe.

It's long overdue.
