Matt Rosendale said "Again, I refuse to accept the premise that a grenade launcher is going to be purchased and allowed to be purchased by a former law enforcement official. That is just not realistic. It is not true, and it is very misleading to this body. When we have people who have risked their lives to defend folks across this country in our communities, then they should be able to purchase these retired weapons. We have heard them called retired weapons. Because the value has been dramatically reduced, they are going to be put into a stockpile. They are going to be salvaged. They are going to be destroyed. Allow us to generate some revenue, and allow the people who have used them the longest and the safest to continue their use. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
