So, the answer is yes?

So, Director, the ATF issued a rule on so-called stabilizing braces recently because it was clear that many of the items being manufactured and sold as stabilizing braces were really just being used to try to get around the National…

I rise in opposition to H.R. 1690 and associate myself with the remarks of Mr. Connolly.

You can get these for other types of guns, too. For example, the AR-15?

And to quote you the cause of climate change is rising energy consumption using fossil fuels; correct?

The things I can control or the things that the United States can control are its emissions.

It would put migrants in an uncertain dangerous situation as Mr. Cicilline said and would transfer our responsibilities to countries that have minimal resources.

The reason is pretty clear: Short-barrel rifles can have the conceal-ability and maneuverability of a pistol but with the fire power and accuracy of a rifle.

The asylum system of the United States was once described as the crown jewel of America's humanitarian effort.

I think it is a terrible bill. It saddens me to say that because I have deep respect for the chairman.

You are enriching the very dangerous cartels who we are talking about.
