"We have to do more as a society": Wisconsin Rep. Pocan calls for gun reform

From CNN's Antoinette Radford

Wisconsin Democratic Rep. Mark Pocan has demanded more action from Congress and American society following a school shooting in Madison on Monday that killed two people and injured six others.

“I’ve sat through so many moments of silence on the floors of Congress that are followed by zero moments of action. This is the over 80th school shooting this year, 480th mass shooting in this country this year alone,” he told CNN.

Pocan described mass shootings as a “uniquely United States’ problem” and said it had to be addressed “much more rapidly than we are.”

During his interview with CNN, Pocan took aim at the reason he was given for having a media appearance canceled. He did not name who canceled the appearance.

“We even had some media today that we originally were going to do and canceled. And they said, ‘Oh, it got downgraded to only two deaths.’“

“If that is the societal response, we are screwed. We have to do more as a society. We have to be more outraged that you drop your kid off to a school and you’re not sure they’re going to be safe. That’s completely unacceptable. And we all need to speak out much louder,” he added.
