Quote by -Elizabeth Esty
We are a great enough country to respect the Second Amendment rights of lawful gun owners and protect our children. And those things don't need to be in conflict.
Quote by -Elizabeth Esty
Most of what I've proposed in Congress grew out of issues raised with me back here in Connecticut.

Quote by -Elizabeth Esty
We know that, relative to GPS, radar is not as accurate - we'd be seeing our planes' precise positions in 3-D, not just approximate locations every eight seconds.
Quote by -Elizabeth Esty
We have an epidemic of gun violence in America, and in trying to understand how that has happened, part of what we need to do is help equip our children to respond not with fear but with kindness. This has to be the way we go forward.
Quote by -Elizabeth Esty
There's no reason to continue including language in the federal spending bill to prohibit the CDC and NIH from studying the causes or effects of gun violence on public health.
