Friends and Neighbors,
Today, on the anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting in Newtown, Connecticut, I can't help but be haunted by what could have been for the young children and brave teachers whose lives were cut short that fateful day.
But merely honoring and remembering those who have been harmed by senseless acts of gun violence isn't enough to keep our children safe. Our thoughts and prayers will not bring back lives, erase painful trauma, or prevent guns from reaching the wrong hands.
If we are going to combat the gun violence crisis in this country, we need immediate action on gun legislation. That's why I've pushed for policies that would address gun violence from every angle, such as bills to provide funding for gun violence prevention, close gun show loopholes, block gun trafficking, and more.
While it shouldn't take the commemoration of a mass shooting to highlight the urgent need for gun reform, today serves as a meaningful reminder of how critical this issue is.
I will continue fighting to bring gun legislation to the floor, but for today, let's take a moment to remember the victims of the tragic Sandy Hook Shooting.
Sincerely,
Carolyn
