"I understand the importance of the Second Amendment, but how it is that we can have a hearing where one of the witnesses compares these weapons to shoes is just beyond me."

"What we are trying to do here, the reason this hearing is so important, is because we know that there are things that we can do to keep us safe."

"Without objection."
