This amendment, very simply, would ban high-capacity magazines of more than 10 rounds which are used to kill more people more quickly and, in fact, have been used in more than half the mass shootings since 1982. I ask my colleagues to listen to law enforcement, their police, prosecutors who are outgunned by criminals who use these high-capacity magazines. I ask that my colleagues also listen to the families, to Nicole Hockley, whose son, Dylan Hockley, was killed by a man who used a high-capacity magazine. She said of the man who killed her son, he left the smaller capacity magazines at home. He knew the larger capacity magazines were more lethal. I ask my colleagues to listen to Bill Sherlach whose wife Mary Sherlach was killed on December 14. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator's time has expired.
