Gillibrand: ‘Thoughts and Prayers Are Not Going To Stop the Next Mass Shooting’

‘My friends, this must change’

EXCERPT:

GILLIBRAND: "My friends, this must change. Thoughts and prayers are not going to stop the next mass shooting. Merely talking about something, something for the mentally ill to obtain guns isn’t going to stop the next deranged person with hate in their soul from committing yet another mass murder. And the Second Amendment does not mean that Americans should have to risk getting shot because they walk down the wrong street in a city or decided to go to a music festival in Las Vegas or a nightclub in Orlando or an elementary school in Newtown, or a movie theater in Aurora, or a church on Sunday in Texas. After each of these horrific acts of violence, what happened here in Congress? Nothing.”
