Thank you, Chairman Wilson, and thank you to you and Ranking Member Phillips for calling this important hearing.
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.
more than that, they brought us here today to attack a district attorney who has actually seen a decrease in violent crime during his tenure.
If my Republican colleagues were serious about violent crime and sincere in their efforts to law enforcement, they would have joined us in that effort.
