On the recordOctober 4, 2001
Reclaiming my time, it does nothing to address the issue of concern about those people who are trying to ship totally legitimately poultry within the United States; that may be a totally legitimate shipment that would not be involved in game fighting that would, in fact, come under this. That is the primary concern I have. The point that I was simply trying to make, and certainly maybe his second amendment does address that, relative to whether it is intrastate or international, it probably would be addressed by his second amendment, but the other concerns that I mention, in fact, would not be addressed.
