Our hearts break for the families of the 6 lives taken too soon — three of whom were children with their entire lives ahead of them — and all affected by the horrific, senseless violence at Covenant School.Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., whose wife, former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., was nearly killed in a 2011 Tucson-area mass shooting,"I’m heartbroken to hear the news out of Nashville this morning. Six lives lost and more families devastated by yet another mass shooting.
“We're devastated by the tragedy in Nashville. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families, kids, victims, and first responders, but they mean nothing if it's not backed by action. Gun violence is a public health emergency. It is now thecause of death for children in the United States. The urgency to pass additional common-sense gun violence prevention legislation is now.”, Republican leaders should be acting to help families and victims of gun violence.
