The promise of the First Amendment is that no official, high or petty, will be able to dictate what Americans do.

Censorship does not make Americans safer. It does not make them healthier, and it does not protect our democracy.

Did the government pressure social media to censor Americans for saying things like natural immunity is real?

Without the information that the Committee needs from the Biden Administration, we cannot do our jobs.

I believe in the Second Amendment, and we shouldn't -- you know, we shouldn't penalize law-abiding American citizens.

Whether someone is murdered with a gun, with a knife, with a car, a bomb, or even with your bare hands, the fact of the matter is what a firearm does is equalizing the playing field.

Guns are not the problem. Law-abiding gun owners are not the problem.

So, you are in communication with the Biden Administration wanting to make these changes?

I find it very hypocritical that some Members of Congress hire armed security to protect themselves with firearms.

The pistol brace rule exceeds the ATF's statutory authority.

I hope that we can act to put an end to this ATF overreach.

The Biden Administration, acting on behalf of the gun control lobby, has targeted firearm businesses.

I don't remember a bill going through Mr. Nadler's committee last Congress that changed the law.

Instead of going after actual criminals, the ATF, by changing the rules without any input from Congress, is trying to turn law-abiding citizens into criminals.

Unless you remove the brace, lengthen the barrel, turn in or destroy your firearm, or register your gun with this government that you know you can trust because Mr. Wilcox has been working with them, unless you do those four things, what…

The Biden Administration has weaponized the ATF as it has weaponized every institution of our Federal Government, and this weaponization is an attack on law-abiding Americans.

A felon. A felon for something 10 years ago they said was just fine, that you build a business on.

This is not what our Nation's founders intended. This rule terrifies my own constituents.

In November 2021, in Wisconsin, a driver drove his SUV through a Christmas parade and he killed six. Was there any talk of banning cars? No.

Millions of law-abiding Americans will be turned into felons overnight by the stroke of a pen and without any congressional action.

I think some people are, and we should be, because it is my firm belief that if you look at Mexico with 124 million people, the murder rate in this country is 5 per 100,000.

We don't think President Trump broke the law at all.

you've got the wrong understanding.

Without objection, we'll enter that into the record, along with the statement from the White House, the Biden White House two days into the administration when they're directly attacking the people's First Amendment liberties.

According to the Senators' testimony last month in front of this Committee, the briefing was bogus.
