Because the truth is in this chamber, we've beaten the NRA before and we can do it again. We're going to do it again because we have a responsibility to keep our communities safer. We can and must ban weapons of war and high capacity magazines that have no place on our streets. And we can and we must require gun owners to do what responsible gun owners already do. Lock your weapons up properly and report them when they're stolen. (28:31–28:39)
