the speaker: thank you, mr. speaker. i thank the gentleman for yielding and for his great leadership. mr. speaker, each year, more children die from gun violence than any other cause. cancer, auto accidents, any other cause. our nation has watched in unspeakable horror as assault weapons have been used in massacre after massacre, in communities across the country. and disturbingly, so many of these mass shootings have targeted our precious children. in their schools, at the movies, at the malls, and throughout our communities. that is why i rise today in strong support and re-instating the assault weapons ban along -- a long overdue step to get deadry -- deadly weapons off our streets. make no mistake, we know that an assault weapon ban can work because it has worked before. for 10 years, from 1994 to 2004, our families were protected by strong assault weapon ban, strongly championed in the senate by then-senator, now-president joe biden. chuck schumer led the way over here. diane feinstein in the senate. i was a relativ

speaker. and, mr. speaker, still i rise.nd i rise today to address the unfortunate circumstances that took 19 lives of children and two teachers in uvalde, texas, as robb elementary school. i rise to address this because the families are still suffering. children did not return home from school. this should never happen in our country. i'll never forget the baby, the child who indicated that she took the blood from a friend who was lying on the floor and she took that blood and she put it on her body and on her face so that the gunman wouldn't shoot her. she will have to live with this for the rest of her life. i rise because there have been many con flicking stories -- conflicting stories about what happened. almost daily there was a different story, a different narrative. and at some point the families deserve the truth about what happened in uvalde. what happened at robb elementary school? they deserve the truth. and they deserve the truth because the pain and suffering may not immediately leave them, but it will give the

speaker. i rise today in support of one of the most fundamental rights imaginable in a free society. the right to bodily autonomy. the freedom to choose when and how to begin a family. . a wocman is required to carry t term the baby of the attacker, or go to new mexico, colorado, or anywhere they can get abortion services. and now some extremist republicans in texas want to prevent texans from leaving the state to obtain an abortion. the same so-called conservatives that say big government, can't say -- want to say where they can go or threaten the employers that want to pay for travel. whaeks next -- what's next? will they place checkpoints, question a woman boarding the plane or train about the nature of their travel? does this sound like freedom to anyone? i will not stand for it. my colleagues and i will not stand for it. the ensuring access to abortion act ensures all american women have the right to travel within the united states, a right that we should not have to be affirming today. b
