But that is unlikely to be the case until Congress takes meaningful action. When I met with students from Maryland last week who participated in the National School Walkout, I heard in their voices a yearning for action and positive change. They deserve an America where, in the words of one of those students, the \u2018right to own an assault rifle does not outweigh our right to live.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cToday, I will be with the students, teachers, parents, and first responders in Great Mills. When I return to Washington, I will continue doing everything in my power to pressure Congress to remove this danger that now sows fear in every community in our country. Thoughts and prayers and moments of silence are not enough. The halls of Congress are a place for action, a place where silence must no longer prevail.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/smnewsnet.com\/archives\/431563\/hoyer-statement-on-the-shooting-at-great-mills-high-school\/\">SoMD News Net<\/a><\/p>\n<p>The only saving grace is Desmond Barnes, the other shooting victim, has been released from the local hospital and is doing well now.
