this amendment is a commonsense approach to help make Americans safer. And I think it is highly significant that we have just received a letter that is signed by a group of generals and admirals who have been on the frontlines in fighting…

this amendment is unusual when we are debating issues such as terrorist watch lists and the appropriate restrictions that are needed--desperately needed--to ensure that people who are suspected or known terrorists are not able to purchase…
