                            ENOUGH IS ENOUGH

  (Ms. DeGETTE asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. DeGETTE. Mr. Speaker, enough is enough. Another week, another 
school shooting, this time right outside my district at the STEM 
Highlands Ranch School.
  My heart aches for everybody there, but you know something? That is 
so far from enough.
  People say it is too soon, we can't talk about gun safety, but you 
know what? Tell that to the survivors of Columbine, only 7 miles away 
from STEM Highlands, who have been waiting for 20 years for it to be 
time.
  Tell that to the Sandy Hook parents.
  Tell that to the thousands of parents around this country who have 
lost their children in school shootings and just simply shootings on 
street corners.
  The time has come. We need commonsense gun safety legislation, and we 
need it now. Until then, the blood of these children and all of the 
other children are on all of our hands.
