On the recordFebruary 8, 1995
I quite disagree with the gentleman from New Mexico that what I said before, it does not change maybe what BATF is doing at the present. But I still say, because they can go on reasonable belief that what they are doing is right without a warrant, which they cannot do today. They have to get the warrant today. If they are going to go in and take somebody's guns away from that house, they better get a warrant.
