“I point to the amendment where it refers to section 921(a)(24) of the title, which is going to keep weapons that are currently not allowed in civilian hands out of civilian hands. Our law enforcement officials are highly trained. Whether they are using an AR-15 or whether they are using a similar high-powered rifle with a high-intensity scope, they are trained to do such. I have lots of friends and family who use these weapons on a daily basis for sport shooting and other purposes. If our law enforcement officers, if they have served their time and are retiring from that duty of protecting the civilians across this Nation, want to purchase a weapon that they have been utilizing for who knows how much time, they should be able to do so. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.”
