Chairman Nadler Floor Statement for Protecting Our Kids Act f t # e Washington, June 8, 2022 Washington, D.C. - Today, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) delivered the following remarks on the House floor, as prepared, during debate of the Protecting Our Kids Act:“Our nation has been through trying times these last few weeks as we have tried to process the mass shootings in Buffalo, Uvalde, Tulsa, and all too many other cities. 7910, the Protecting Our Kids Act, is comprehensive legislation to address the scourge of gun violence—a blight that killed nearly 45,000 Americans in 2020 alone. “Who will be able to tell children that they did all they could today to ensure that their parents will return safely from the supermarket, or their office, or an evening out? “Who will be able to tell their constituents that they stood with them and not the gun lobby? “I urge all of my colleagues to join me in supporting the Protecting Our Kids Act, and I reserve the balance of my time.”
