Mr. President, I thank the Senator for the question. It is simple. We are asking for the two sides of the aisle here to come together and bring us votes on a bill that would prevent individuals who are on the terrorist watch list--the…

I thank the Senator for the question. I think the flood of special interest money into politics is the answer for why lots of things don't happen here, and, frankly, it is also the answer for why a lot of things do happen here. So I think…

I thank the Senator for the question. I will forgive the disparagement of Connecticut's small size, but the answer is no. The only limitation would be that if any of those individuals were not permitted to fly because they were on the…

I thank the Senator from Colorado for his passion on this issue and for the personal decisions we wrestle with, especially those of us with children. I now yield for a question.

I thank my colleague. He is right. Charleston was almost a year ago to the day. But it is hard to keep track of when these year anniversaries occur because we are now having 1-year and 2-year and 3- year and 4-year anniversaries and major…

I thank the Senator for the question. I think it is a very dangerous message. I think it is the complete inability of this body to deal with important questions of the day. There is no doubt that we have disagreements. There is no doubt…

I thank the Senator for the question. The amendment that has been filed by Senator Feinstein is pretty plain in its wording. It says that the Attorney General can deny the transfer of a firearm based on the totality of circumstances, that…

I thank the Senator for that question because that is kind of the red herring that gets thrown into this mix. Yes, we all agree we don't think people who are on the no-fly list should get guns, but it is about the mistakes that are made…

I say to Senator Heinrich, it is hard to understand why we wouldn't do that, especially when, as you noted, people on that list go in and buy a gun and they are almost universally successful in walking away with that weapon. It doesn't…

I guess, I say to Senator Heinrich, if I had the 100- percent correct answer to that question, we probably wouldn't be here because we would probably have figured out how to solve it. It is such a unique issue in the American public sphere…
