Mr. President, I wish to ask the Senator about the weapon that was used in Orlando. My home is in Orlando. I was there right after the shooting. Of course, I speculated at the time that this was going to be a combination of ISIS-inspired, a hate crime, anti-gay, and very likely anti-Hispanic because 44 of the 49 had Hispanic surnames. I want to ask the Senator if he is aware of the difference between the lethal killing machine that was used and the AR-15, which is a military weapon used by the military called the M-16, and the SIG SAUER MCX. They can use the same bullets, but this one, in fact, can use an even larger, more lethal bullet, traveling at 2,000 miles per hour. I wanted the Senator to see this. Is he aware that down in Orlando, this killer used this rifle?
