                              GUN VIOLENCE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROBIN L. KELLY

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, August 7, 2018

  Ms. KELLY of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, I rise today because gun violence 
continues to claim the lives of Americans and it remains unchecked by 
this Congress.
  Just this weekend, Chicago--our nation's third largest city--saw 74 
people shot, 11 of whom passed away and 63 of whom were injured and 
will never be the same.
  Mr. Speaker, what are we doing? Or more correctly, what AREN'T we 
doing?
  We should be passing legislation to stop interstate gun trafficking, 
to prevent stalkers from accessing weapons, to keep suspected 
terrorists from purchasing weapons and to ensure a background check on 
every gun sale.
  Tragically, this Republican-controlled Congress shows no intention to 
consider any of these commonsense, lifesaving policy changes that we 
know work and save lives.
  Mr. Speaker, we--well, more correctly, this Republican-controlled 
Congress is failing the American people and putting their lives and 
families at risk.
  Here are the names of many, many Americans that we've failed .
  Americans failed by a Congress too beholden the NRA to act:
