mr. thompson and ms. kelly will be hosting today a forum on this issue. many of our colleagues, including, i believe, the vice chairman and i will be attending as well to talk about this because maybe we want americans to know that we're thinking of those families that are right now suffering from the tragedies of losing their loved ones as a result of some of these shoongs, whether it's san bernardino, colorado springs, you name it, newtown. we're almost on the anniversary of shoot anything newtown that killed -- shooting in newtown that killed 20 children and 6 adults. but a moment of silence is not action. and if the only thing congress is going to do is hold moments of silence every time someone is tragically gunned down whether by someone who means us harm because we're simply americans or whether it's because that perpetrator didn't like the color of our skin or didn't like the content of our character, either way that's terror. and there are families that have been terrorized, and now there are families
