A small business. A vigil. A neighborhood. A club. A party. A grocery store. In seven days there were seven mass shootings, as everyday gun violence has taken countless lives.
No one should feel the pain of losing a loved one to violence. Our nation mourns with the community in Boulder, the families of those who were killed, and all those who have lost someone to gun violence.
Thank you to the first responders, especially Officer Eric Talley who sacrificed his life to save others’. Our hearts are with his wife, seven children, and all those who loved him.
At the same time, thoughts and prayers are not enough. It is time for meaningful action. @POTUS and I urge Congress to act and ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and close loopholes in our background check system. It will save lives.
