Larson on San Bernardino Shooting

December 2, 2015

Washington – Today, Rep. John B. Larson (CT-01) released the following statement following the tragic shooting in San Bernardino, CA:

“My heart goes out to those who lost a loved one in San Bernardino today. Once again, we must bear witness to another senseless tragedy. Enough is enough. For too long, Congress has been paralyzed by the influence of special interest groups. The U.S. House of Representatives has yet to even take a vote on commonsense reforms like universal background checks. It is our constitutional obligation to let our constituents know where we stand with our votes, but Congress has been derelict in its duty. No matter where we stand on this issue, we owe it to the American people to at least hold a vote. Every day we delay, Congress remains complicit in the deaths of thousands of Americans waiting for action while we sit idly by.”
