I thank the gentleman for yielding time. We face two choices today in this body. One is to protect our children, to protect our houses of worship, to protect where we shop, to protect where we watch a movie from guns that exist for one purpose only--mass death inflicted efficiently. Or we can listen to the other argument, which you have heard, in thrall to the gun manufacturers, to protect them at any cost, and you as a citizen are collateral damage at the altar of the gun manufacturers, and we will be bathed in blood forever. It is time to act. It is time to end the madness and disenthrall ourselves from automatic weapons that are mass killers.
