year since december 14, 2012, which, as we know, adam lanza shot his way into sandy hook in newtown, connecticut. with several shotguns and handguns. he killed 26 children and took his own life. we know that on tuesday in roswell, new mexico. a 12-year-old boy injured his school with a shotgun in a gym -- entered his school with a shotgun in a gym bag and seriously injured a 15-year-old girl, and critically injured an 11-year-old boy, both of whom are recovering, successfully, we hope. in the year since sandy hook, 1500 gun bills have been introduced in the legislature of nearly every state. a little bit over 100 have actually been enacted into law. of those 100 nearly 70% got rights -- and only 39 of the laws that were passed actually increased gun control and safety. the united states still has the highest number of guns per capita. 88 per 100. for a total of about 270 million. and 2013 saw the same number of deaths by gunshot. around 30,000. as in the previous years, around 30,000. here we are a year after sandy hook, still talking about the lobbying and organizing, and citizens respectful of

can say that there's a lot more that has to be done, while there's 26 people killed in newtown, in hartford, connecticut, that year there was 40 people were murdered. in new haven there was another trick people -- 30 people. but the focus was on the 26 in newtown. we have to press origin and talk about supporting states. we force our folks to look at some of the urban issues like the people who have illegal guns, make sure that these people have to have a permit to buy their ambition. so they can't just walk into your little story am by all the ammunition they want, okay? but the problem is they can go across the border to new york, massachusetts and rhode island and by some ammunition. so anybody from new york, rhode island and massachusetts, please, pass a law that will keep people from buying ammunition for the illegal weapons, okay? make them have a permit to buy it. so let's start there. thank you applause but. >> all right. i'm going to go over here. stand up, stand up. spin first of all, i'm president of the ohio legislative black caucus and i have my state senator with us. we have 15 african-ame

than a year since december 14, 2012, which, as we know, adam lanza hook ins way into sandy newtown, connecticut. with several shotguns and handguns. killed 26 children and took his own life. we know that on tuesday in roswell, new mexico. a 12-year-old boy injured his school with a shotgun in a gym bag and seriously injured a 15- year-old girl, and critically injured an 11-year-old boy, both of whom are recovering, successfully, we hope. since sandy hook, 1500 gun bills have been introduced in the legislature of nearly every state. a little bit over 100 have actually been enacted into law. 70% got 100 nearly rights -- and only 39 of the laws that were passed actually increased gun control and safety. the united states still has the highest number of guns per capita. of about 270 million. and 2013 saw the same number of deaths by gunshot. as in the previous years, around 30,000. here we are a year after sandy hook, still talking about the lobbying and organizing, and citizens respectful of each other's decisions to craft legislation and policy that will protect safety and our freedom. tonight, w

scale that a year ago during the state of the union this was a push after the massacre in newtown, connecticutook where the president pushed for a slew of gun control measures and did though the succeed. the tragic part about that for people that care about greater curbs on gun right, if newtown wasn't going to do it, it's hard to see what request. gun rights proponents argue it's always a debate that's mist cast. it's much more about the act, the crime and not about the freedoms for gun owners. that debate is always going to continue. this year in the state of the union, it's not something the president will make central. >> what about security in public places. theaters, school, malls, anything on that front increasing security? >> i don't think this is a big issue for the president for the state of the union. the debate will be there on both sides of the gun rights debate. there's more of a push for security and potentially more arms security. these are difficult questions. >> coming on tuesday, what do we expect to hear, health care? >> the president certainly wants to defend health care a

i happened to be 20 minutes away from newtown, connecticut were all that happened. we came up with our gun legislation to address be violence. when that happened, there was this need to come up with this quick addressing thing, not really get into the substance of it is easy to, so pass legislation about a weapon, that we really haven't addressed the issues about the people who pulling the trigger. let's talk about the social- economic justice. if we talk about chicago in the urban areas, it has more to do with that. also, admit to the health issues for these people. [applause] what we need to do there as well. i can tell you, there is a lot more that has to be done. 26 more people killed in your town. people were 40 murdered. -- 26 more people killed in newtown. we have got to press our agenda and talk about supporting states -- we forced our folks to look at some of the urban issues like the people who have illegal guns , make sure that these people have a permit to buy ammunition. they cannot just walk into your little store here and buy all the ammunition they w

so the nation was devastated by the tragic shootings that occurred last year in newtown, connecticut. so this bill provides increased resources for providing the mental health and school safety activities that we've been talking about for over a year. the bill includes $140 million, an increase of $29 million, for specific activities that support safe school environments. the bill also provides $1.13 billion, an increase of $213 million, for mental health programs such as mental health first aid training grants, the national child traumatic stress initiative, suicide prevention, and the mental health block grant. other highlights of this bill, it supports the economic recovery by providing workers with job training, by protecting workers' rights, and education that makes possible for the maximum pell grant to rise by an estimated $85, to $5,730 this year. it allocates an additional $700 million for community health centers, so important to my state of iowa and, frankly, to every state in this nation. it provides higher funding for activities that support safe and healthy workplaces. a

since december 14, which, of course, is the day in which 206th 7-year-olds lost their lives in newtown connecticut and the professionals who were protecting them. this is probably the last time, madam president, that we will have the chance to display this particular number because the web site that has been totaling this is going to stop doing so. and it's probably a good thing in this respect. once that one became a crooked number we weren't going to have any room on this poster any longer. at some point in the middle of next year, the one two click up to a two. we would be over 20,000 people killed due to guns. frankly, madam president this doesn't even count the suicides. this is just the people who have died as a result of gun homicides. and the number just goes up and up and up at a rate that's hard to comprehend. and so i want to just talk for a few minutes about just a few of the representative victims that we have seen across the country in the last year that make up just a small subset of the 12,000 people and the hope that many one of these days it will inspire this place to action. i w
