I thank the gentleman from Arizona's leadership on this issue, and my profound gratitude and immense respect to Chairman Culberson for making sure that this interpretation that was applied to 5.45 ammunition was not applied to 5.56. He has the gratitude of millions of gun owners in this country--law-abiding gun owners, I should say. This travesty of justice still applies to this other caliber, using the same reasoning. I won't impugn the motives of the ATF. I won't do that. I think they are just trying to enforce the law. There is a gray area here, and I think this bill clears up that gray area for the benefit of millions of gun owners--law-abiding gun owners--in this country, and I thank Representative Gosar for leading on this.
