“I thank the gentleman for yielding. I support this amendment to require the GAO to submit a report to the relevant congressional committees analyzing the extent to which the additions required by this bill prevent firearms from being transferred to prohibited persons. It will be important for us to get information about the implementation of the law and its impact on so-called default proceed transactions. The amendment also requires that the GAO report its findings after 90 days and again after 1 year, 3 years, and 5 years. I think it is always a good idea to actually track the effect of new legislation and see how effective it is. Madam Chair, I urge my colleagues to join me in supporting this amendment, and I commend the sponsor for doing so.”
