                     PASS COMPREHENSIVE GUN REFORM

  (Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Madam Speaker, today, I rise in recognition 
of National Gun Violence Survivors Week.
  Last month, with the leadership of my House colleagues and Senator 
Elizabeth Warren, I was proud to introduce the Gun Violence Prevention 
and Community Safety Act, the most comprehensive piece of gun reform 
legislation this Chamber has ever seen.
  We will mandate universal background checks, which will help keep 
guns out of the hands of those who should not have them. We will crack 
down on gun trafficking. And we will hold the gun industry accountable 
for putting profits over the safety of the American people.
  I promise today to fight so that not one more American is burdened 
with living as a gun violence survivor because of irresponsible, 
outdated, and morally bankrupt Federal gun policies.
