A Democratic congressman said that he’ll boycott a moment of silence for the victims of the mass shooting in Las Vegas that left at least 58 dead and hundreds injured.

Rep. Seth Moulton, a Democratic congressman from Massachusetts, tweeted Monday that he will “NOT be joining my colleagues in a moment of silence on the House floor that just becomes an excuse for inaction” on gun control.
