Rep. Carolyn B. Maloney, the chairwoman of the Committee on Oversight and Reform, called together “The Urgent Need to Address the Gun Violence Epidemic” hearing after more than 200 mass shootings were reported in 2022. These include the racially-motivated shooting in a Buffalo, N.Y. supermarket on May 14, which killed 10 and seriously wounded three others, as well as the May 24 shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, where 19 children and two teachers were killed.

And Zeneta Everhart, whose son Zaire Goodman survived the shooting at the Tops grocery story in Buffalo, noted that shrapnel will remain inside the left side of his body for the rest of his life. “As an elected official it is your duty to draft legislation that protects Zaire and all of the children and citizens in this country,” she told the committee. “Common-sense gun laws are not about your personal feelings or your beliefs.
