In a push for gun reform, Sixth District Congressman Seth Moulton, D-Salem, started to read aloud the names of victims involved in mass shootings just in 2016 on the well of the House floor in the nation's Capitol Thursday morning.

Fellow congressmen came forward with pictures of shooting victims as Moulton, a four-tour Iraq War Marien Corps infantry officer veteran, read out loud the names and ages of the victims.

The following statement is attributed to Gary Shapiro, president and CEO, Consumer Technology Association (CTA)™, regarding today's introduction of the Government Travel Modernization Act by Reps. Will Hurd (R-TX) and Seth Moulton (D-MA): "We applaud Reps. Hurd and Moulton - and original cosponsors Reps. Darrell Issa (R-CA), Cheri Bustos (D-IL), Mark Meadows (R-NC) and Eric Swalwell (D-CA) - for supporting innovation and competition in transportation.”

Democrats launched another protest on the House floor Thursday over  inaction on gun control , this time calling attention to specific gun violence victims.

A few dozen members spent part of morning hour and a short recess period that followed reading names of gun violence victims, holding their pictures.
