I am fearful that if we were to pass 1690 as it is drafted, it would not only really violate that long tradition of America being a place that welcomes people who are seeking asylum.
The reason is pretty clear: Short-barrel rifles can have the conceal-ability and maneuverability of a pistol but with the fire power and accuracy of a rifle.
It would put migrants in an uncertain dangerous situation as Mr. Cicilline said and would transfer our responsibilities to countries that have minimal resources.
