Transcripts For CSPAN Weekly Democratic Address 20171007

Lewis my name is john lewis and i represent the Fifth District of georgia. 58 people were killed because of an evil, disturbed man was able to get his hands on a dozen Deadly Weapons and turn them on a crowd of innocents. When i think of las vegas and charleston, and orlando and aurora, my heart breaks. Gun violence is a daily epidemic and a tragedy in families and communities across america. Not always on the front pages, but always someone a replaceable and beloved. People are killed every day and every year. We lose more than 30,000 men, women, and children to gun violence. What would it take for the Republican Congress to wake up . They offer prayers and moments of silence, but they do nothing. When the media moves on, they panel the lives that we need more guns and stop to roll back protection. I know and i have been around. I have seen too many gun deaths and too much republican inaction and obstruction, and i am here to say this must stop, and it must stop now. Democrats know what must be done. The way forward is clear. We are calling on republican colleagues to join us and take some simple steps to end an epidemic that is killing americans every day. Republicans must walk away from a radically dangerous bill that will open the floodgates. They must work with us to pass a bipartisan bill which will strengthen the lifesaving to keep guns out of the wrong hands. We must Work Together to ban the sale of bump stock, a deadly tools that enable a shooter to 400matic fire at a rate of rounds a minute as the shooter in las vegas did. Finally, they must join us in a Bipartisan Select Committee on gun violence. To study and prevent the daily tragedy of gun violence. The republicans have not did it finger. They have not done one single thing to combat this crisis, and worse still, refusing to enter a bipartisan process to address the gun violence epidemic. How many more husbands and wives, brothers, sisters, friends, and neighbors must die before the Republican Congress act . How may more sons and daughters will be ripped away from their parents . How many more mothers and fathers will be stolen from Young Children . The families of the victims deserves more than moments of silence. They deserve action. Good, commonsense proposals are already on the table. We invite our republican colleagues to take a seat and work with us on real action to stop the violence. I say this to my republican colleagues, you were elected to lead and elected to uphold life. We cannot be silent. We cannot be complacent. We cannot wait for the next shooting. Let us this time be different. Let us make a down payment on ending gun violence in america. Let us do our job. Let us get commonsense Gun Legislation to a vote now.
