'When is enough enough?' asked Faith Mata, whose 10-year-old sister Tess was killed at Robb elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, on 24 May along with 18 other students and two teachers.
At a congressional hearing on gun violence, Mata spoke about the devastating impact her sister's death has had on her family.
“The child and little human who once made this family home is no longer with us,” she said.
“Are we not tired of hearing the stories of victims, hearing from victims’ families? Are we not tired of hearing yet another tragedy because of gun violence?” the 21-year-old pleaded to lawmakers, recounting how her family waited for more than eight hours to discover Tess had been killed.
