                 VETERANS 2ND AMENDMENT PROTECTION ACT

                                 ______
                                 

                               speech of

                         HON. ELIZABETH H. ESTY

                             of connecticut

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 16, 2017

  Ms. ESTY. Mr. Speaker, on March 16th, 2017, during debate on H.R. 
1181, the Veterans 2nd Amendment Protection Act, the official positions 
of several veteran services organizations were discussed. To clarify 
remarks I made during that debate, the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of 
America (IAVA) did not take an official position on H.R. 1181 prior to 
the House's consideration of the bill, nor has IAVA publicly discussed 
why they have not taken a position on this bill in the 115th Congress. 
I regret any confusion that may have been caused by my remarks.
