Victims of Gun Violence

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. FRANKEL of Florida. Mr. Speaker, 90 people a day are killed by a firearm in the United States of America. That is more than 33,000 families devastated by gun violence last year. Those are statistics. I want to tell you and read the names of real people in my hometown whose families got that dreaded, unimaginable knock on the door:

Jacob Walsh, age 25;

Greg Bryant, Jr., age 21;

Zedward Jackson, age 52;

Gary Martin, age 52;

Ledarius Fitzgerald, age 18;

Herman Denis, age 18;

Jack Bellino, age 28;

Courtney McGriff, age 29;

James Cartigiano, age 16;

Anne Nau, age 21.

And the list goes on. Who will get the next knock on the door?
