Today, we remember the 20 children and 6 staff members that were shot and killed at #SandyHook 6 years ago. Gun violence has taken far too many of our loved ones - young and old - far too soon.

Our thoughts and prayers are not enough. We can help prevent these tragedies if Members of Congress have the courage to pass common sense gun reform laws that can help keep our communities safe.

Over the past year, as more cities, towns, places of worship, and schools faced the scourge of gun violence, we’ve seen parents, students, and community members speak out to say enough is enough.

Their leadership has helped states pass more gun safety laws, and is making this country a safer place. I hope we will see that kind of courage in the halls of Congress soon.
