Nobody asked me about it today. I didn't expect anybody to ask me. ... It's human nature just to think This is so horrible. Let's just not even think about it.' But, we have to think about it."
"We know that there are common-sense measures we can take that will save people's lives.

Gun violence continues to produce fatal mass shootings, exemplified by a recent attack at Brown University that killed two people and wounded nine others. Families of victims experience the same profound loss across different incidents, comparable to the Parkland tragedy that left 17 dead.

Calls for action emphasize empathy for potential victims and stress that bipartisan solutions exist to save lives. Personal experiences with loss motivate continued advocacy for stronger prevention measures.
