WASHINGTON, DC — Congressman Steny H. Hoyer (MD-05) released the following statement in response to the shooting during Bowie State University Homecoming:
“I am deeply disturbed by the shooting during Bowie State University Homecoming festivities this weekend. I am disgusted that an event symbolizing joy, pride, and connection for so many in the Fifth District was disrupted by yet another instance of the gun violence that has become all too common across America. My thoughts are with the faculty, students, alumni, and the entire Bowie State University community.
“Gun violence continues to take a tremendous toll on the physical and mental health of countless Marylanders and Americans. Congress ought to come together and put People Over Politics by passing commonsense legislation to prevent this gun violence. I urge Republicans to join Democrats in that effort, just as we did with the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act last Congress. We ought to do everything in our power to ensure that tragedies like these do not continue to occur.”
Hey fool, it’s people that are violent not guns, knives, autos or baseball bats.
Do something about the criminals not the 80+ million law abiding citizens.
Something like a mandatory 20 years for first crime committed with an illegal gun, you know like Slo’ Joe’s boy, Hunter.
TERM LIMITS!
about the term limits, its the voters that don’t obey the term limits. You have the opportunity to vote for someone every 2 years. And speaking of term limits, no one can chalennge the appeal court judges. The ability to vote for someone starts in the Primary Show- up in the Primary!
That’s right it’s not the damn gun it’s the illegals and criminals behind the Guns.Simply make it a federal offence for mandatory 10 years when caught with a weapon unregistered to the person or stolen and ghost guns.st Mary’s county let’s people go on pr for having a gun.Smh it’s just crazy my weapons are for home protection and/or hunting for food to feed my family.
Steny ol’ boy…spend your time on getting the CURRENT laws enforced(!) before spending effort (and our money) on ‘new’ laws. You and your cronies will not be satisfied until all LAW ABIDING CITIZENS are disarmed.
