"We live in a country where we can't walk home from school, go to the grocery store, or gather in sanctuary with our community without bloodshed," he said. "It's ben too little for too long. Pennsylvania's General Assembly needs to act now."
"The recent shootings across our country leave families with holes in their hearts and empty seats at the Thanksgiving dinner table. And I've had enough."
