I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Washington will be postponed. Amendment No. 3 Offered by Ms. Velazquez The Acting CHAIR…
I thank the gentleman from Ohio for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to H.R. 1808, which is just the latest gun-grabbing bill Democrats are dangerously ramming through in their unconstitutional crusade to disarm America…
An important part of this committee and its actual role is government reform and oversight.
It may be objected that if weapons that are most useful in military service, M-16 rifles and the like, may be banned, then the Second Amendment right is completely detached from the prefatory clause.
I just want everyone to know that the firearms industry is not exempt from being sued by the public for a myriad of things.
I would submit that people are voicing their opinions with their pocketbooks, and I think that is a very, very strong opinion across the Nation.
Let me be clear. Gun manufacturers do not cause violence, and the Second Amendment is not to blame for violence in this country.
We are here today because Democrats on this committee are bound and determined to politicize the horrible, tragic events that occurred in Uvalde, Texas.

Ma'am, do you find that 25 percent didn't even check their emails for 10 months, is that acceptable or is that not?
The safety and well-being of election administrators and a robust secure election infrastructure is paramount to a functioning republic.
I think that what you said about the need for election audits is absolutely correct.
Make no mistake, this hearing will be used as a platform by the Democrat majority to push for total Federal control.
I believe stronger election laws that restore confidence in our election process will reduce the threats of violence toward election officials.
For somebody in Washington to think that they need to tell 88 county boards of elections in Ohio how far away observers should stand is the height of Federal Government arrogance.
Strong election laws, like Georgia's SB202, will do a lot to ensure confidence in elections across the country.
Several weeks ago, I introduced my landmark legislation, the RETURN our Constitutional Rights Act, which eliminates the Federal excise tax on firearms and ammunition because no American should be taxed on their enumerated constitutional…
