10,287 individuals -- americans -- have been killed by guns since december 14, the day of the sandy hook shooting. mr. president, what i've been endeavoring to do since the failure of that bill on the floor of the senate, despite the fact that 90% of americans supported the bill, is to bring to this floor the voices of victims because the statistics are numbing at this point. 10,000 people in this country died at the hands of gun violence since december 14. and that apparently has not been enough to move this place or the house of representatives to action. so my hope is that by coming down to this floor every week or so and starting to tell the real stories, the human stories about the individuals who have lost their lives and the absolutely catastrophic runoff of trauma that happens to a family in the neighborhood, in a community when you lose a loved one due to gun violence that maybe that, maybe that will move this place to do something. so i actually just want to tell three stories this morning, because it now is kind of routine. you just sort of wonder what day of the week is it going to be whe
