The intrepid Frank R. Lautenberg was the personification of Jersey Strong today, casting votes in favor of background checks for gun owners, and bans on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines ... His presence today was a brighter part of a disappointing day of votes. I look forward to working with him as we continue the fight for common-sense gun control measures for the sake of all Americans.
There is no one in New Jersey history quite like Frank R. Lautenberg ... He is a true champion for New Jersey, an effective advocate and skillful politician, and someone who has never forgotten his roots or the valuable role that government can play in helping people.
I am not announcing the end of anything. I am announcing the beginning of a two-year mission to pass new gun safety laws, protect children from toxic chemicals and create more opportunities for working families in New Jersey ...
