On the recordFebruary 27, 2019
Mr. Chair, I yield myself such time as I may consume. Mr. Nadler, in his statement, said that my amendment would allow dangerous people to get guns. I have to say I disagree. I am the ranking member on the Committee on Homeland Security subcommittee that deals with TSA, and the TSA PreCheck system is more stringent than the background check currently required to obtain a gun, when you purchase it. Again, it requires a fingerprint background check and an individual interview. Neither of those are required right now. We had offered a number of amendments to help this bill become less burdensome on law-abiding citizens, and so I am happy that one was at least ruled in order, this TSA one, and I would ask my colleagues to please vote ``yes'' on it. Mr. Chairman, I urge adoption of this commonsense amendment, and I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR (Mr. Price of North Carolina). The question is on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Arizona (Mrs. Lesko). The question was taken; and the Acting Chair announced that the noes appeared to have it.
