Quigley Statement on Texas Elementary School Shooting

Today, U.S. Representative Mike Quigley released the following statement after nineteen students and two adults were murdered in a mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas:

"This horror should be unimaginable but in the United States, this is the 212^th mass shooting of the year. In Chicago, more than 200 people have died from gun violence so far in 2022.

"I am sick of hearing about thoughts and prayers from my Republican colleagues—the very same colleagues who claim to be ‘pro-life' then block legislation that could actually save lives. Our children deserve better."
