    The Honorable Mike Johnson


    Speaker of the House
    H-232, The Capitol
    Washington, DC 20515

    Dear Speaker Johnson,

    As Members of the Gun Violence Prevention Task Force, we write with a somber
    update about the lives lost to gun violence while the U.S. Congress has been
    paralyzed without an elected Speaker of the House.

    Gun violence is the leading cause of death for children and teenagers in America.
    Parents across our country now live with the reality that if their child dies, the most
    common reason for that death is not because of cancer or a car crash, but a bullet.

    Since former Speaker McCarthy was removed from his leadership role on October
    3rd 1,030 people have died from gun violence including 15 children and 60
    teenagers. Another 2,072 people were injured by gun violence and our country was
    traumatized by 33 more mass shootings.

    Although we can never get back the time that was wasted by the chaos caused by
    the lack of leadership in the House of Representatives, we must not let that
    dysfunction prevent us from working together to address the gun violence crisis
    moving forward. We suggest that the House first start by considering the numerous
    gun violence prevention bills that are supported by a majority of Democrats,
    Independents and Republicans.

    The Gun Violence Prevention Task Force sent multiple letters to former Speaker
    McCarthy with the earnest request that the House take action on gun violence
    which is the largest killer of children. As you assume the responsibility of Speaker
    of the House, we stand ready to work with you on legislation that will reduce gun
    violence and urge you to commit to putting gun violence prevention legislation on
    the floor as soon as possible.
    Sincerely,

    Mike Thompson
