Year. I recently introduced h. R. 225, the firearms safety act which would close the loopholes which prevents the Consumer Products Safety Commission from creating rules regarding the safety of firearms. If the Consumer Product Safety Commission can regulate teddy bears and car seats, it should firearms. They will save thousands of lives. Senseless gun violence and it is unacceptable in the United States of america that gun violence is the leading cause of digit for people under 24. Its time for us to come together to end the gun violence that is taking the generation of young americans. How many and just who has to die before we take action. I urge my colleagues to attend a funeral to feel and see the hurt. Our standing of moments of violence. Lets take action and save lives. I yield back.

Professor of history at rice university. We found this piece in politico. They ask a bunch of history professors which president had the best last year in office. Who do you think had the best final years in office .

So that if in fact the concussion occurs, they dont have to get back to what truly is their normal baseline. But one that has been fabricated because of choices theyve made during the testtaking. So this is about changing the nature of this injury as well. And really getting people to care about their brains so that they dont make choices like that. And in this case, you mean, that that enables them to get back out on the field. Correct. It takes it takes their baseline and lowers it. So that their results dont have to come back to what is their normal baseline. I see. They wouldnt take that impact until the day after. Correct. Youre doing sort of a quick and dirty on the side lines, to decide whether they can go back in immediately or not. Then you are holding thep out and doing that, you know, check towards bas
