I abhor the abuse of children. I have been at the border, and I have held unaccompanied children--desperately sent, because they come from desperate circumstances.
Many outlets'--and some of my colleagues have latched onto this--headlines say that the Biden Administration has lost 85,000 children.
So, people are taking legally purchased pistols, adding these devices marketed as stabilizing braces but which are actually shoulder stocks and changing the character of the gun, transforming it into an unregistered short-barreled rifle.
I think it is a terrible bill. It saddens me to say that because I have deep respect for the chairman.
