HOW SENATOR BEN CARDIN SAYS ENOUGH IS ENOUGH! (1100 hits)
This week, our nation (continued) mourning for 49 souls who fell victim to gun violence in Orlando. Our hearts break for these men and women who were torn from their families, the LGBT and Latino communities, and their daily lives. We need more than thoughts and prayers to curb the daily wave of gun violence and the seemingly never-ending string of mass shootings. The American people are demanding, and rightly so, that we take action now to make our communities safer. They don’t understand the inaction of this body, and, quite frankly, I don’t understand the inaction of this body. What we need is leadership and action. Last week, I joined Senate Democrats on the Senate floor during a 15-hour marathon calling on our friends across the aisle to work with us to craft sensible policies to keep guns out of the hands of would be killers, especially terrorists. From intolerable gun violence in Baltimore City to the string of unconscionable mass shootings including last week’s horrific events in Orlando, it is long past time for sensible measures to save American lives.
