It is about time that we focus as a Congress on the steps that we need to take to decrease gun violence.

I think it is worth noting that 100,000 people a year in America are shot in gun violence.

I guess without going into detail, then, the idea of looking at exclusionary conduct in the Internet space specifically, is there a history of that analysis at the FTC or at Justice?

I am worried about market dominance in the Internet search arena.

I would like to commend the Department of Justice and the Antitrust Division for investigating the business practices of Monsanto in this area.

If I could follow up on the specific issue of exclusionary conduct in the Internet space.

We've entered the 12th month of the Republican majority in this House, and if the past 11 are any indication, December will be a continuation of the GOP no jobs agenda. My colleagues in the majority have shown no interest in tackling…

I don't know that it is entirely accurate to try to couch this in terms of--to shift the debate to a battle between smaller retailers.

I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Chairman, for all of the talk of States' rights in this Chamber, H.R. 822 obliterates the rights of State governments to pass their own gun rules and protect their own citizens from illegal gun…

I thank my friend for yielding, and I thank him for the opportunity to come and join with him tonight to address an issue of great concern to many Americans. We're here tonight because Republican State legislatures across the Nation are…

It is unconscionable that so many survivors are being denied the opportunity to live out their lives with the dignity they deserve.

The fact is what we are worried about is, and the reason we are having this discussion, what we are worried about is not stifling that innovation in the future.

Just going back to what you just said, though, when you referred to phishing expeditions that we should be concerned then about the possibility, understanding that there are--there are requirements that would be imposed and guidelines that…

the Administration's proposal for information sharing states, if I understand it correctly, that notwithstanding any other provision of law, businesses can share their customers' private information with Department of Homeland Security.

These new requirements put the onus of determining the extent and nature of a company's involvement in Iran on that company or its subsidiary if traded on U.S. stock exchanges.

Florida is not the only State government committed to preventing a nuclear-armed Iran.

The world must know that the U.S. is serious about using economic sanctions to prevent a nuclear-armed Iran.

U.S. and international sanctions have shown they can successfully bring great pressure on the Iranian economy.

We must make it clear to not only the regime but to the Iranian people striving for democracy and human rights that we are serious, we are determined, and we are aggressive in our approach to halt Iran's illegal, destabilizing, and…

This amendment will ensure that these reports are considered credible evidence to trigger that investigation into possible violations of U.S. sanctions law.

This bill will close loopholes that have made it easier for companies to continue to conduct business with Iran.
