I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentlewoman from Oklahoma will be postponed. Amendment No. 4 Offered by Mr. Van Drew The Acting CHAIR. It…
I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Mr. Chair, I simply want to say I support this amendment, which clarifies that great bodily harm is included in the exception to the bill's background check requirement, includes domestic violence…
I just want to point out the penalty in this bill that is being cited as $100,000 is in fact $1,000. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
I will point out that the bill says: Nothing in this act . . . shall be construed to authorize the establishment, directly or indirectly, of a national firearms registry. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from California…
President Trump violated that basic command when he invented a so-called emergency as an excuse to build a wall that Congress explicitly rejected.
This debate should not be about partisan politics. It should be about protecting a principle that is fundamental to our constitutional democracy.
The President could not declare a national emergency because too many people of color are voting.
The DHS Inspector General and the GAO concluded that DHS was inadequately prepared to implement this policy in an organized and efficient manner.
Do we know the names of the kids, the names of the parents, the location of both, so that they can be reunified quickly? If not, why not?
It is a terrible irony that so many of these families undertook a perilous journey to protect their children only to see their children ripped from their arms by those who were supposed to provide refuge.

The Second amendment does not prevent the government from enacting legislation to prevent gun violence.

Thank you for this hearing, which is extraordinary, because it is the first hearing on gun violence in more than 8 years in the House of Representatives.
