Or the nine innocent people brutally murdered at an Oregon community college. These are moments that demand leadership. We should roll up our sleeves and start to address the problems that led us here. We should address gun violence and the criminals who threaten our safety instead of characterizing entire immigrant communities as criminals. Unfortunately. it does not appear that we will be given that chance. Rather than marking this legislation up in Committee with input and amendments from both sides. the bill before us was yanked off of the Judiciary Committee agenda once the majority leader decided to bring it straight to the floor.
