McCollum Statement on Mass Murder of School Children in Texas

Congresswoman Betty McCollum (MN-04) released the following statement:

"The mass murder of school children and a teacher in Texas just days after the Buffalo massacre is a tragedy that unfortunately shocks no one. We must not be naïve: Until these weapons of mass murder are banned by Congress, this daily rampage of killing, misery, and fear will continue to be a self-inflicted wound on America. The American people need to decide: Will we act to protect innocent lives? Or will we do nothing, and continue to sacrifice the lives of our loved ones and neighbors in the name of protecting gun rights? With all of the gun violence and acts of hate, Republicans continue to make it easier to carry weapons and access the weapons used to murder children, shoppers, and people at places of worship. This senselessness must be stopped by banning all weapons of mass murder."
