This is a country that has been defined by foundational, systemic, endemic racism since the very founding of this country, august 20th of 1619 - the first time that a kidnapped African was brought here against his will and made to serve as a slave to build the greatness and the success and the wealth of this country, which his descendants would never be able to fully participate in.

This is a country that has produced the leadership that will ensure that we not only have universal background checks and red flag laws and end the sale of those weapons of war but that we go the necessary steps further, as politically difficult as they may be, a gun registry in this country [and] licensing for every American who owns a firearm.And every single one of those AR-15s and AK-47s will be bought back so theyre not on our streets, not in our homes, and do not take the lives of our fellow Americans.
