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. No, in Senator Feinstein's amendment--I know she will speak to it over the course of the debate--there is a process for individuals to remedy any erroneous denial of a firearm. So there is going to be an explicit process set up with which to do that. I think Senator McCaskill said this earlier; she remarked that the bipartisan reference is showered upon law enforcement. It is wonderful that we support our members of law enforcement, but then why don't we trust them to make decisions when they have information that would make them very worried about a specific individual buying a firearm? Why don't we trust them to make that decision if we all agree that we trust them to make other decisions to keep us safe? I yield for additional questions.
