To me, it doesn't matter what the President of the United States proposes along the U.S.-Mexico border. I am a Member of the United States Congress. I am sent here by my constituents to fight for their needs. That is why I repeatedly asked for the National Guard to be deployed to the border.

Stopping gun violence takes courage, the courage do what`s right. We must never stop fighting, fight, fight, fight.
If you don't have the guts or the courage to do something about this issue and send a message to the American people, who desperately turn to us, then it is time for you to leave.
It is time. In Congress, we sit here with the ability and the power to do something, and history will not be kind to us if we continue to allow the gun lobby to buy us and sell us.
Based on similar gun control measures in states like California, H.R. 8 would not deter a criminal from engaging in criminal activity, and it won't decrease gun crime.
