RIGHTS COME WITH RESPONSIBILITIES
(Mr. CROW asked and was given permission to address the House for 1
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. CROW. Mr. Speaker, I grew up a gun owner. I have been hunting
since I was 12 years old. I became an Army Ranger and went to war for
this country, where I led over 100 combat missions, carrying weapons of
war at war in defense of our Nation.
But I am also a father, and I also represent a district that has been
hit by some of the worst mass shootings in our Nation's history. I
learned in the Army years ago that citizenship comes with duties and
rights come with responsibility.
Mr. Speaker, we are failing each other in this country. It is time
that we start fulfilling our duties and our responsibilities to each
other. We have the opportunity to do that now and to save thousands of
lives.
Mr. Speaker, I implore my colleagues to join with me and to pass the
Bipartisan Background Checks Act.
