"Today, the House will take historic action to prevent gun violence by passing H.R. 8, requiring background checks on all firearm sales. When I vote for this bill, I will be thinking of the thousands of Marylanders we've tragically lost to gun violence."

"I will be thinking of Sylvia Frasier, Kenneth Proctor, and Frank Kohler, three #MD05 constituents who were tragically murdered at the Washington Navy Yard shooting in September 2013."

"I will be thinking of Jaelynn Willey, a bright young woman from St. Mary's County in #MD05 who was killed at Great Mills High School in March 2018."

"I will be thinking of John McNamara, Wendi Winters, Rebecca Smith, Rob Hiaasen, and Gerald Fischman, reporters, editors, and newspaper staff who were brutally murdered in the newsroom of @capgaznews in Annapolis in June 2018."

"No one should go to school, work, a movie theater, church, or any other public space and fear for their life. This action by the House is the first step we will take to address this crisis. We cannot sit idly by as more Americans are killed by gun violence."
