I think this is absolutely insulting to tell people who have lived their whole life with associates that help make them successful that you did not know what you were doing.

There is a cost of operation that we keep messing with all the time by increasing their tax load.

This Affordable Care Act, I mean I cannot imagine something being named worse in my life, 'affordable'? Heavens, no.

When you expand that and you look at different programs that are available, really it is that ability to stay together as a family to get through the hard times that makes it very, very real.

The key to that being temporary, again, being a bridge from one point to another.

People in Washington don't know what we are going through.

I don't know of anyplace else in the world that people are more generous with their own money and their own time.

This is not a political thing for me, based on a Republican idea or a Democrat idea. This is about what is best for this country.

I have always thought that, coming from the private sector my whole life, I know incentives work.

I think the importance--and I would like to associate myself with the remarks of the other Members--of you being here today is really your day in court.

I join you in believing that Americans have a strong and robust right to possess firearms; it is the law of the land.

The vast majority of people with mental illness are no more violent than the rest of the population.

I am reviewing legislation to address gun trafficking.

The proposed assault weapons ban is a singularly ineffective piece of legislation.

Gabby and I are both responsible gun owners. I bought a hunting rifle from Walmart a few months ago, and I went through a background check.

I have cosponsored a bill to require background checks at gun shows.

Under it there has been no discernible reduction in the lethality and injuriousness of gun violence.

I just do not think that law-abiding people want every gun sale in the country to be under the thumb of the Federal Government.

I am so grateful to you and to her for the public service that you have offered in the last year under difficult circumstances.

I have heard from some gun owners who are worried that Congress is going to outlaw features that they really like in guns.

I have cosponsored a bill to limit the number of rounds in a magazine.

I hope we will have a follow-on hearing where we will ask administration witnesses to come before the panel and to testify why the Department of Justice and other law enforcement agencies of the Federal Government are not enforcing laws…

Tomorrow I will introduce the Mental Health in Schools Act which will improve access to mental health care for kids.

The assault weapons ban was singularly ineffective.

We believe wholly and completely in the Second Amendment and that it confers upon all Americans the right to own a firearm for protection, collection, and recreation.
