October 2nd, 2017

Washington, D.C. – Today, Congressman Seth Moulton (D-MA) weighed in on the tragic shooting in Las Vegas and called for Congress to take action – not stay silent – in the wake of the deadliest mass shooting in modern American history.

Key Point:
“These guns have no business in our schools, on our streets, or at concerts. I will not be standing with my colleagues in a moment of silence that just becomes an excuse for inaction in the House of Representatives today. I will work to do something about this problem so that it doesn’t happen again.”

Full Transcript:
“As someone who’s seen the effects of gun violence first hand at war, my heart goes out to the victims and families in Las Vegas. But now is not the time for silence – it’s a time for action.

“It’s a time for us to finally come together as Americans and actually do something about this scourge of violence that uniquely effects American’s. We can protect the Second Amendment, we can protect our constitutional rights, and we can still do something about this public health crisis that is gun violence in our communities. These guns have no business in our schools, on our streets, or at concerts.

“I will not be standing with my colleagues in a moment of silence that just becomes an excuse for inaction in the House of Representatives today. I will work to do something about this problem so that it doesn’t happen again.”
