If someone is a victim of a gun crime in New York City, dollars to doughnuts that gun was not originally purchased in New York State.

Here in New York, one of the largest and most complex cities in the world, local leaders have pursued violence intervention... that have pushed crime and incarceration to their lowest levels in decades.

We can and must do more. We must pass universal background checks.

So, a gun is the common denominator in eight out of 10 homicides. How can we take that away? We cannot do that. We must continue to fight for commonsense gun law.

I think it's important for us to try and step in in that way.

If you get rid of those three agencies, there's no Federal mechanism or arm to actually prosecute violent crime at the Federal level.

I believe the Second Amendment is important, but I think protecting second-graders from being killed is important as well.

Both drones and advanced air mobility or AAM, have the potential to both change how we travel and how we transport goods and services.

I look forward to hearing from our esteemed panel of witnesses today.

I look forward to working with Chairman Graves, Acting Chairman Collins, our colleagues, our witnesses here today, and other stakeholders on the next FAA reauthorization bill.

I would just suggest--I took a flight to Atlanta recently, and I was between two people who I guess you could call husky.
