I will close in reciting the previous argument that this is not about protecting public safety and that First Amendment rights would be violated. I looked back to see my crowd here, to see how we would win this voice vote, and it looks very daunting. I feel a little bit like Davy Crockett at the Alamo. Nevertheless, I continue to voice my opposition, and I ask my colleagues who are here to vote ``no.'' Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time. The Acting CHAIR.
