They must have some special kind of deer in North Carolina. They are running around in the woods with bulletproof vests on. The idea that a sportsman needs an armor-piercing bullet to go after a deer, I mean, I don't really buy it; but if the majority is willing to buy it at this hour of the night, it is fine with me. On a serious note, for those who are in law enforcement, who are out in dark alleys, and who have to confront circumstances that they don't know the exact dangers that they are going to face, the fact that we want to have weapons that suppress the sound--now, we want to have bullets that can pierce armor and that we want to make sure that are under the guise of the Second Amendment, that you can have all manner of armament, without any type of reasonable speed bumps that might protect the American public is something that I am not sure that the majority would want to take such an enthusiastic effort around. Obviously, they do, and they have decided that this bill is the bill for it, that this bill is the place where they want to do this activity, right? I think it is unfortunate. As for me and for my side, we will be in opposition, and we will let the majority work its will. I reserve the balance of my time.
