I will just note that there is a loophole where law enforcement officers can keep a gun even when they have a domestic violence restraining order. Mr. Chair, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Nadler).

That is why I am supportive of the ICC investigation into the war crimes that are happening.
