“Later today, we are going to be taking up an extraordinary piece of legislation and voting on whether this Nation is going to be all in on a new nuclear arms race or whether we are going to modulate and think about what it is that we are funding.

Another assault weapon was used to murder at least 16 people, with perhaps another 50 being wounded. It is time for this House to act on extending the previous ban on assault weapons. This has nothing to do with the Second Amendment. This has everything to do with war on the American people. ____________________”
