don't really have a vote, it's just unless any senator objects, it passes the law to pass the background check. i believe there are 60 votes to ban bump stocks. i believe we could have 60 votes at the federal level to change the age from 18 to 21 on the purchase of any rifles. i believe -- and i know you're a co-sponsor of the safe school act. prevent, you know, it's the safe school act that's been filed by a member of congress from florida that is going to be filed on monday -- it's going to be filed on monday by senator hatch of utah, that i believe we can also pass in the senate. so there are things that we can begin to do on issues that there is consensus on. my biggest fear remains that our attention span on this country on virtually every issue is seven to ten days and then we pivot -- you know, we're one tweet away or one story away from focusing on something else. and we cannot continue on an issue of this important to make that, to allow that to happen. so i do think we can make progress. >> congressman, next question is for you. i want to bring in annabel quinn
