Pelosi on Sandy Hook: ‘Republicans Want to Make This Problem Even Worse’

EXCERPT:

PELOSI: “Sadly, as you know, today marks the 5-year anniversary, 5 years since 20 beautiful children and their six extraordinary teachers were gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Our hearts are shattered and our only resolve grows stronger 5 years later in their names and the names of 90 Americans who lose their lives to gun violence every day, and the 120,000 Americans who have been killed by guns since Newtown. We will never stop fighting for commonsense gun violence prevention. As we saw with last week’s concealed carry bill, House Republicans want to make this awful problem even worse. How could it be when people were converging on Washington and around the country coming together to observe the 5-year anniversary? It was observed here by putting forth with stiff competition, one of the worst gun bills that they put forth."
