I ask the Senator this, through the Chair. My offices in New Mexico today received many calls asking why Democrats are on the floor debating the Second Amendment. I would like to ask the Senator from Connecticut if this is an accurate assessment of today's debate. It is my understanding--and I believe most of my colleagues would agree--that the Supreme Court has settled this issue. Congress can't take away that right. President Obama can't take away that right. What we are doing here today is taking steps to ensure that dangerous people are not able to buy a gun. Is that the Senator's understanding?
