During Jewish American Heritage Month, we celebrate the rich history and many contributions of Jewish Americans. We also recognize that anti-Semitism continues to be a scourge on our society that we must combat in all its forms. I thank…
First, there's the vilification of undocumented immigrants and asylum seekers, which is having a major impact on the agency, security issues regarding the agency, and on relationships with the people that we deal with.
The United States has a long history of welcoming asylum seekers to our shores.
I oppose the D'Esposito amendment as its central focus is advocacy for the law enforcement officers' bill of rights, a controversial measure pushed by police unions and adopted by many States in response to demands for greater…
I am glad to hear the gentleman from Colorado say he is interested in a resolution praising the Capitol Police and so forth, which makes it all the more puzzling why the Republicans refused to let us consider an amendment to that effect to…
I am happy to hear that the gentleman from Colorado wants to honor Federal law enforcement personnel who defended us on January 6 and otherwise, which leads me to the question of why the Republicans refused to let us have an amendment to…
Before recognizing the next speaker, let me also point out that this resolution also claims that progressive politicians actively encourage resentment toward local law enforcement. When we tried to remove such misleading claims during the…
The previous speaker referred to some remarks I made, and they are accurate. What I said was that substantial resources should be taken from the police and given to mental health services, and that was done. About a billion dollars was…
I claim the time in opposition, although I do not oppose the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. Without objection, the gentleman from New York is recognized for 5 minutes. There was no objection.
The gentleman from New York referenced our District Attorney Alvin Bragg. As a resident of Manhattan, I must say that I find Alvin Bragg a perfectly fine district attorney, and he is being attacked only because he has secured indictments…
I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Montana will be postponed.
Section 5845, definitions, reads as follows: ``(a) Firearm, the term `firearm' means (1) a shotgun having a barrel or barrels of less than 18 inches in length; (2) a weapon made from a shotgun if such weapon as modified has an overall…
The provision that the gentleman refers to refers only to machine guns. It does not exclude other firearms, as I mentioned, such as short-barreled rifles and even grenade launchers, and these are too dangerous. We should not be selling…
This amendment expands the types of weapons officers are allowed to purchase to include all retired firearms. The amendment radically extends the bill and runs counter to its original purpose. This amendment would allow semiautomatic…
The gentleman is mistaken. There is a difference between the officer and the gun. The gun is being retired. The officer may have committed a felony--the ex-officer, I should say, may have committed a felony, may have been forced out for…
A police officer can retire for many reasons. One of them is that he is being forced out for misconduct. An officer who is forced out for misconduct should not be permitted to buy a gun without a background check. The background check…
I think the gentleman misunderstands the bill. This bill is not when the officer retires. It is when the gun is retired. When the gun is retired, perhaps because the law enforcement agency is upgrading to a more modern gun, it can be sold…
When Congresswoman Demings introduced her superior version of this legislation last Congress, it would require the law enforcement officer who is purchasing the gun to undergo a background check. This is a commonsense requirement, given…
Even within this limited spirit of the law, I find myself with far more questions than answers as we begin this inquiry.
As our technology evolves, we must determine if our laws must evolve as well.
Once again, as our technology evolves, we must determine if our laws must evolve as well.
Once again, as our technology evolves, we must determine if our laws must evolve as well.
Even within this limited spirit of the law, I find myself with far more questions than answers as we begin this inquiry.
As our technology evolves, we must determine if our laws must evolve as well.
