Lujan Grisham Statement on Las Vegas Tragedy

Statement

Date: Oct. 2, 2017
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: National Security Guns

Congresswoman Michelle Lujan Grisham released the following statement in response to the tragic mass shooting in Las Vegas, NV:

"Americans are grieving today, and I pray for everyone who was affected by the tragic loss of life in Las Vegas. I am thankful for the doctors, nurses, police and first-responders, including concert-goers, who selflessly came to the aid of victims.

"Like other recent acts of domestic terrorism, we are once again in shock and unable to explain the senseless loss of life. Nobody wants to politicize a personal tragedy. At the same time, I understand why most Americans are frustrated and upset by the lack of action in Congress to address gun violence. We all have a right to be safe in our communities, and that includes a family-friendly concert in Las Vegas. While we can't prevent every tragedy, we have a moral obligation to do everything we can to prevent mass shootings."
