The mass shooting at Silver Rail Elementary in Bend is another horrifying act of violence that has struck our schools. Our schools should be places of safety, dedicated to education and community. No parent should be afraid to drop their kids off at school. But too often, they are now the site of horrible sadness and atrocities. My heart is with the victims, their families, and the entire community.
Members of Congress owe it to every family affected by gun violence to pass meaningful reforms so this never happens again. I will not rest until every childhood is free from the scourge of gun violence.
