“I was truly hoping that the motion by Ms. Titus would be accepted because, frankly, Ms. Titus' unanimous consent request would have saved lives, prevented convicted felons from acquiring firearms and would have prevented people on the terrorist watch list from silently assembling arsenals for them to commit terrorist acts in our country. While I am disappointed that Ms. Titus' unanimous consent request was rejected out of hand, I yield to--and I am hopeful that the gentleman from Alabama will accept--the gentleman from California (Mr. Thompson) for the purpose of a very important unanimous consent request.”
