“There is an
outpouring of voices demanding real change to make our communities safer.
Clearly the NRA’s leadership is not one of them. What they announced today is
not a plan, but a ploy to bring more guns into our neighborhoods. I don’t
believe the answer to gun violence is more guns. The American people are tired
of the same buzzwords and rhetoric that have moved this debate nowhere and put
lives at risk. It’s time for a common sense national gun policy. It’s time to
take action on background checks, assault weapons, high capacity magazines,
missing mental health records and closing private sales loopholes. There is so
much work to do; we don’t have time for rehashed and tired ideas. The American
people and the families of the 34 people killed every day by gun violence demand
nothing less.”
