Will the Senator yield for a second? Let me say to Senator McCain, I thank the Senator. I truly do. Because with the Senator's truly busy schedule--and everybody knows in how many directions you are pulled and how you are working--he took time to read it. He took time to see we did not invade anybody's private transactions. He took time to see that basically we had a Commission on Mass Violence that would look at the culture of violence in our country. I can only thank the Senator. For someone with the stature of the Senator in this body, to take the time to go through that bill word by word and know that it does protect our Second Amendment rights, it does the things we try to do in a comprehensive way, I want to say thank you. Mr. McCAIN. I thank my colleague. Amendment No. 730
