"If we close the loophole and do background checks in a comprehensive fashion at the gun shows, will we succeed? The answer to that question is yes."

"I believe that most Members of Congress in both parties agree that the gun show loophole, if closed, would keep more guns out of the hands of criminals."

"Now we have to finish the job."

"It is necessary to protect the national security interests of the United States to suspend for a period of 6 months the limitation set forth in section 3(b) of the Act."
