20 years since Columbine

Hi {NAME} -- 20 years ago today, two troubled boys shot up their high school in Columbine, Colorado -- shocking our nation and killing twelve students and a teacher, as well as themselves. There's been a lot of discussion this week about how things have changed in the last twenty years in our country... Columbine family members have reflected that: "It seems like every month, there's a new tragedy of some kind, somewhere -- it just makes you feel hopeless." “I feel like we have come so far in so many ways, yet we’re still stuck in the same spot... I never imagined that we would be where we’re at right now, where there are so many mass shootings that we can’t even keep up … it’s just unfathomable that Columbine wasn’t enough.” Twenty years ago, our lawmakers did very little to address our gun safety laws in the wake of the tragedy. And according to the Washington Post, more than 226,000 students have "experienced gun violence at school" since Columbine. Our politicians' reactions to gun violence in the last twenty years have been shameful. It's why I ran for Congress. So, I hope that we will learn from the past, and the present -- and continue to keep pushing for common-sense gun safety measures in the coming weeks and months. In solidarity, Rep.
