 "Another American
city has been scarred
by gun violence"

President Biden spoke on the shooting Tuesday afternoon: "Less

than a week after the horrific murders of eight people and the
assault on the AAPI community in Georgia, while the flag was still
flying half-staff for the tragedy, another American city has been
scarred by gun violence and the resulting trauma."

According to CNN, "The Colorado attack is the

7th mass shooting in 7 days in the US."
"ENOUGH IS ENOUGH"
Congressman Joe Neguse of the Boulder district offered
up harsh and much needed reflection on the massacre:

"While Congress dithers on enacting

meaningful gun violence prevention measures,
Americans — and Coloradans — are being murdered
before our very eyes — day after day, year after year.

It doesn't have to be this way...If we are truly invested in

saving lives, then we must have the willpower to act
and to pass meaningful gun reform.
The time for inaction is over."
