I thank my friend for yielding. Mr. Speaker, I will remind my friend on the other side of the aisle, the God-given right every one of us has, according to the Declaration of Independence, is life, and that is what we are arguing about here today.

A, reinstate the Assault Weapons Ban; B, universal background checks; and C, closing the gun show loophole. Those three practical measures will save lives. And because I support ABC, I get an F every year from the NRA, and I am proud of that grade every year. Point of Order
