         ENFORCE EXISTING GUN LAWS; DO NOT CODDLE GUN VIOLATORS

  (Mr. TRAFICANT asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TRAFICANT. Madam Speaker, the White House wants more gun control. 
Janet Reno wants more gun control. But something just does not add up, 
Madam Speaker. In the last 5 years, prosecution of gun violators 
dropped 50 percent. Gun violators serve 25 percent less time in jail, 
and many pardons were granted for gun violators.
  Now think about it. Fewer prosecutions, early releases, pardons, but 
the White House wants more gun control. Beam me up, Madam Speaker.
  America does not need more gun control. America needs the White House 
to enforce the gun laws we already have. I yield back all the coddling 
of these gun violators by this administration.
