                    SUPPORTING THE SECOND AMENDMENT

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentlewoman from 
Illinois (Mrs. Miller) for 5 minutes.
  Mrs. MILLER of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, President Biden and the 
Democrats want to defund the police, take away your Second Amendment 
right to self-defense, and then stand by and watch crime skyrocket in 
cities like Chicago.
  The new push by the left, intended to diminish your Second Amendment 
rights, is to pass so-called red-flag gun confiscation laws.
  This is a disguised attempt by Congressional Democrats and some 
Republicans to seize lawfully owned firearms and violate the Second 
Amendment rights of American citizens.
  Congressional Democrats and some Republicans voted to pass the 
National Defense Authorization Act, which includes red-flag gun 
confiscation provisions.
  I urge the Senate to reject red-flag gun confiscation provisions in 
the NDAA.
  I will always stand up for the Second Amendment rights of my 
constituents.
  Shootings in Chicago are up 220 percent due to the pro-crime policies 
of the left. Businesses and citizens are leaving Illinois at a record 
number. Officers are retiring from the Chicago police force at a record 
pace.
  Our Second Amendment right to defend our home and family has never 
been more important. I will always stand up for the Constitution and 
for the safety of the people in Illinois.
