Excerpts of Remarks by Congresswoman Marcia L. Fudge (OH-11) on the House Floor
Call to Action to ban assault weapons in the wake of the Sandy Hook Elementary School Shootings

The massacre that occurred at Sandy Hook Elementary School will forever be embedded in our memory, as will the photos of 20 children as young as 5 years of age who perished in that school...a place that should be safe...a school. These innocent children will never have the opportunity to enjoy their teenage years, go to a prom or have families of their own. We owe a debt of gratitude to the teachers who lost their lives trying to shield our children from this senseless crime....

In the last five years alone, we have had 19 mass shootings. That's a rate of more than one every four months. These are alarming numbers, and we as a nation must be willing to do something about it. There have been calls by some for "meaningful action," but I implore my colleagues that what we really need is immediate action. The issue of eradicating gun violence is ripe and we must act now.
The first thing we must do is ban assault weapons of all types. Their only purpose is to kill the largest amount of people in the shortest amount of time. Tragically, the Newtown shooter used a military styled weapon to perform his evil deed. Weapons with the ability to carry out such deadly force do not belong on our streets. I challenge anyone to justify the use of these weapons anywhere but on the battlefield for which they were designed.

Proponents of gun rights say that there is an absolute right to bear arms. I disagree. All rights are subject to reasonable restrictions. But what is absolute, is that I have a right to leave my home without being shot. People have the right to worship their god without being massacred. The children of Sandy Hook Elementary had an absolute right to go to school without being gunned down. No one sends their children to school expecting that they won't come home. I understand there are many factors that contribute to these unforgiveable acts of violence, but we must start somewhere.

    Seems the gun grabbers spoke too soon, the so called assault rifle was NOT USED.

    This was a horrible event in our society but "immediate" action is rarely wise. You call for an immediate action to ban on these "assault" weapons and say they have no place but for the military. Well Marcia, half my family is in or has been in our military and they do not consider the weapon you are describing as an assault weapon. Furthermore four HANDGUNS were found in the school @ Sandy Hook. The long rifle was never removed from the car. Gun bans and "gun-free" zones only help the criminal.
