I could say many things about this bill. But in the time constraints we have, law enforcement was the pivotal decision which switched me from 10 years ago voting against this measure, to today not only standing here to vote for it but joining in the leadership of the Senator from California to get it passed. Law enforcement has shown it has reduced the use of these weapons in crime. My words pale in significance to the law enforcement officers from the four corners of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
