“I want to back the gentleman's comment. Ladies and gentlemen, we hear from the other side all the time another commission, another commission. We should not have commissions. All of a sudden, we know what this is all about. It is about Waco. The Waco hearings in the Committee on the Judiciary, and the Gov Ops Committee did not accomplish what those acolytes of the NRA wanted. It showed what David Koresh was. It showed our law enforcement people did an estimable job, it showed very simply that the conflagration that occurred was the fault of David Koresh himself. But now they are going back to it. I suppose they do not want it to be in Congress anymore. We would show them up again. Instead they are going to a commission. I think this is a total waste of money here. We strike out provisions that would fight Hamas and fight other terrorist organizations, and we put this commission in. We know what this bill is becoming. This bill is becoming an NRA wish list. That is all it is. And I do not think it should be here. This does not belong here. It makes no sense at all. And what we have learned here is that this body is less interested in fighting terrorism and more interested in showing their obeisance to the NRA. It is an absolute disgrace.”
