On the recordMarch 22, 2000
I rise along with Senator Hatch to support the Right to Bear Arms Protection and Privacy Act of 2000. This bill embodies the goals of several bills I have previously introduced, and its passage would be a great relief for millions of law abiding gun owners who want their rights protected. Mr. President, this administration has launched an all-out assault on gun owners and gunmakers in an attempt to blame them for the crime problem that has resulted from the revolving-door criminal justice approach taken by liberal judges throughout this country. I look forward to working with Chairman Hatch to move this bill expeditiously through the Judiciary Committee.
