The House should send its condolences to the teachers and pupils who have been shot at a school in Florida. As many as 17 people have been killed and many others have been injured. Florida used to be known as the sunshine state but that has been changed to the gunshine state. The state of Florida hands out millions of gun permits and more than any other state in the US. President Trump's tweets and condolences ring false.

Senator Craughwell, presumably as part of his presidential campaign, asked republicans to take their seats in Westminster and represent their voters. Does he understand what he has just asked? Does the House understand what he said?
