Gun-Control Advocates to Congress: "You Have Failed to Keep Us Safe" 
---------------------------------------------------------------------


 
As the San Bernardino funerals begin, gun-control advocates are making a
renewed push for meaningful gun-control legislation on Capitol Hill.
Flanked by other members of the Newtown Action Alliance, the group
formed following the 2012 massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary, co-founder
Po Murray said lawmakers have failed to keep Americans safe.

Po Murray: "Gun violence is a public health crisis that must be
addressed immediately. Americans are getting shot and killed everywhere
and anywhere—in our streets, in our homes, schools, colleges, malls,
movie theaters, workplaces and places of worship. Too many of us are
affected by gun violence, and more of us feel less safe. You have failed
to keep us safe. We are sick and tired of your inaction."
