Republican and Democratic House members hosted the news conference to commend the NEA members for their courage and dedication to children. No more delays. No more excuses. The time has come for every lawmaker to put kids and their safety first. We cannot take for granted the safety of our schools.

We need to stop the guns from getting into their hands in the first place. Ban the sale of semiautomatic assault rifles. Stop the sale and importation of high-capacity ammunition clips. Require mandatory background checks. Prohibit handgun possession by those under 21.
