I thank the Senator for his remarks. I thank him for his focus on assault weapons. We are asking for two different proposals to come before the Senate, not one on banning assault weapons, but it remains a passion of many of us. One of the most gruesome facts from the Newtown killings is that there were 20 kids who were shot with that weapon, and not one of them survived. All 20 of them died. That speaks to the epic, life-ending power of an exceptional weapon. I yield to the ranking member of the Homeland Security Committee, the Senator from Delaware, for a question without losing my right to the floor.
