assault weapon to any other person who is not licensed under
this chapter, unless a licensed importer, licensed

the grandfathered semiautomatic assault weapon for the
purpose of complying with subsection (s). Upon taking custody
of the grandfathered semiautomatic assault weapon, the
licensee shall comply with all requirements of this chapter
as if the licensee were transferring the grandfathered
semiautomatic assault weapon from the licensee's inventory to
the unlicensed transferee.
``(2) Paragraph (1) shall not apply to a temporary transfer

grandfathered semiautomatic assault weapon for purposes of
examination or evaluation by a prospective transferee.
``(4)(A) Notwithstanding any other provision of this
chapter, the Attorney General may implement this subsection
with regulations.
``(B) Regulations promulgated under this paragraph--

accordance with paragraph (1); and
``(ii) shall not include any provision imposing
recordkeeping requirements on any unlicensed transferor or
requiring licensees to facilitate transfers in accordance
with paragraph (1).''.

1 hour equally divided and controlled by the chair and ranking minority
member of the Committee on the Judiciary or their respective designees.
The gentleman from New York (Mr. Nadler) and the gentleman from Ohio
(Mr. Jordan) each will control 30 minutes.
The Chair recognizes the gentleman from New York.
General Leave
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent that all Members may
have 5 legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks and
insert extraneous material on H.R. 1808.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the
gentleman from New York?
There was no objection.
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
Mr. Speaker, today, we take another step to advance historic gun
violence prevention legislation. H.R. 1808, the Assault Weapons Ban Act
of 2022, restores and updates the prior assault weapons ban that kept
weapons of war out of our communities for a decade before Republicans
opposed its renewal.
As we have learned all too well in recent years, assault weapons,
especially when combined with high-capacity magazines, are the weapon
of choice for mass shootings. These military-style weapons are designed
to kill the most people in the shortest amount of time. Quite simply,
there is no place for them in our streets.
In 1994, we banned these killing machines, and countless lives were
saved. But that ban was allowed to lapse 10 years later. Since then, we
have seen the predictable results: Mass shootings have increased
exponentially in our public spaces. Schools, movie theaters,
supermarkets, houses of worship, parades, you name it, have all become
vulnerable to attack.
Uvalde, Parkland, Tree of Life Synagogue. How many more mass
shootings must we endure? When will we learn?
Well, I hope we are starting to learn today. I hope we are starting
to learn today indeed.
The Assault Weapons Ban Act would prohibit the sale, manufacture,
transfer, or possession of semiautomatic assault weapons and large-
capacity ammunition feeding devices. At the same time, it grandfathers
existing semiautomatic assault weapons and contains numerous
protections for law enforcement and responsible gun owners, including
hunters, gun collectors, farmers, sports shooters, and those who use
firearms for self-defense.
It is important to consider today's debate in the context of our
other efforts to address the violence plaguing our communities.
Time and again, Democrats have advanced responsible gun safety
legislation, only to face Republican opposition.
We have advanced legislation to conduct background checks for all gun
sales, to close the Charleston loophole, to close the boyfriend
loophole, and to keep guns away from those who are a danger to
themselves or others.
We advanced my bill, the Protecting our Kids Act, and we sent the
President the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act, which was signed into
law and will save lives. These proposals were opposed by all but a few
of our Republican colleagues.
Today, they have another chance to take the action needed to make our
communities safer. Will they stand with us? Will they show that they
have learned? Or will they stand with an industry that right now is
promoting a weapon to civilians that is powerful enough to shoot
through bulletproof vests?
Will our Republican colleagues choose to defend the weapons of choice
for mass murderers and those who seek to target law enforcement? Or
will they choose to defend Americans who simply want to go to school,
to go shopping, to march in a parade, or to go to a movie theater
without the fear of having a target on their back? It is an easy choice
for me.
I thank Congressman Cicilline for his leadership on this important
legislation, I urge all of my colleagues to join me in supporting it,
and I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
Mr. Speaker, for years, the Democrats told us: We are not coming for
your guns.
Oh, yes, they are.
Let's be clear. The Second Amendment is as clear as possible. That is
their beef. The Second Amendment says: The right to keep and bear arms
shall not be infringed. But they don't care.
In fact, the sponsor of this legislation said so in committee. He
said: ``Spare me the BS about constitutional rights.'' They don't care
about that fundamental liberty law-abiding citizens in this country
enjoy, and they are coming for your firearms.
Six weeks ago, it was the red flag law, where someone who doesn't
like you can report you to law enforcement or to a judge. There is a
hearing that you can't be at, your counsel can't be present, you
haven't been charged with a crime, but they can take your firearm, they
can take your property, they can take away your Second Amendment
liberties, and then you have to petition for a subsequent hearing to
get that right back. And you have done nothing wrong and have not been
charged with a crime.
Then House Democrats passed the unconstitutional legislation that
said 18- to 20-year-olds can't purchase a firearm. They can fight for
our country, but they can't purchase a firearm. And today they are
coming for your guns, 24 million of them.
That is right, 24 million AR-style rifles are in the hands of law-
abiding Americans today, as we speak, and those individuals will not be
able to sell or transfer that property.
In the Heller case, the Supreme Court made clear that the Second
Amendment protects firearms in common use at the time. During the
markup, Representative Bishop asked the chairman: ``Is it the point of
the bill to ban weapons that are in common use in the United States
today?'' And the chairman said: ``The problem is that they are in
common use.''
So, yes, this is the goal. This is why it is unconstitutional.
Couldn't be any clearer. Democrats don't care what the Constitution
says.
Fortunately, courts are correctly applying the Constitution. Last
week, a Federal District Court judge in Colorado, who was appointed by
President Obama, issued a temporary restraining order against the Town
of Superior, Colorado, to prevent it from implementing an assault
weapon ban.
The judge wrote: Plaintiffs have stated that semiautomatic weapons,
as well as magazines that hold more than 10 rounds, are commonly used
by law-abiding citizens for lawful purposes and, therefore, cannot be
banned.
And guess what this bill will do? It won't make communities safer. It
won't make them safer at all. In fact, in the Heller case, the Supreme
Court said: The Second Amendment protects firearms in common use at the
time and also said ``for lawful purposes like self-defense.''
Three weeks ago, July 7, 2022, a Florida homeowner used his AR-style
rifle when individuals forcibly entered his home. After the homeowner
opened fire, the individuals immediately fled. When asked if the
homeowner would face charges, the Escambia County Sheriff Chip Simmons
said: Absolutely not. The homeowner is protecting himself. And in
Florida, you can do that. You can protect yourself.
Democrats tried this ban before. It didn't work. It won't work now.
You know what it will do? It will make communities, I think, less
safe. What will make communities safer, though, is if Democrats stop
defunding the police, stop cashless bail, and start prosecuting
criminals. They are taking away firearms used for self-defense by law-
abiding Americans.
This bill is wrong. It will make communities, I think, less safe, and
it is unconstitutional.
[[Page H7512]]
Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from
California (Ms. Pelosi), the distinguished Speaker of the House.
Ms. PELOSI. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding and for
his great leadership.
Mr. Speaker, each year, more children die from gun violence than any
other cause--cancer, auto accidents, or any other cause.
Our Nation has watched in unspeakable horror as assault weapons have
been used in massacre after massacre in communities across the country.
Disturbingly, so many of these mass shootings have targeted our
precious children in their schools, at the movies, at the malls, and
throughout our communities.
That is why I rise today in strong support of reinstating the Assault
Weapons Ban Act, a long overdue step to get deadly weapons off our
streets.
{time} 1600
Make no mistake, we know that an assault weapon ban can work because
it has worked before. For 10 years--from 1994 to 2004--our families
were protected by a strong assault weapons ban strongly championed in
the Senate by then-Senator, now-President Joe Biden. Chuck Schumer led
the way over here; Dianne Feinstein in the Senate. I was a relatively
new Member of Congress who was whipping for this legislation. It made
us all very proud. More importantly, it saved many lives.
During that time, we witnessed gun crime with assault weapons drop by
up to 40 percent. Let me repeat, gun violence with assault weapons
reduced by 40 percent. Meanwhile, since the ban expired, the number of
mass shooting deaths has grown by nearly 500 percent.
It is particularly sickening to now see these same deadly weapons--
are you ready for this--being marketed to children. Here is an
advertisement for a JR-15 designed to be a so-called ``smaller, safer,
lighter'' version of the horrific AR-15, which has been used to murder
so many of their playmates and friends. Look at this, these little
skulls with ponytails on it.
The manufacturers stated that their ``goal was to develop a shooting
platform that was not only sized correctly . . . but also looks, feels,
and operates just like mom and dad's gun.'' Mom and dad's gun. They
used that expression.
Indeed, gunmaker WEE1 Tactical launched the JR-15 and said: ``we are
so excited to start capturing the imagination of the next generation.''
Indeed, this callousness is disgusting. It is despicable, and it
reminds us that the crisis of gun violence requires action.
To the families who are survivors and have suffered from gun
violence, we have said over and over again, we will not stop until the
job is done. We thank them for sharing their sorrow to help prevent
others from suffering in that way. They have turned their agony into
action.
Now, whether we are saying we are going from Newtown to Uvalde and
everything in between and since, there are so many deaths, so much
sorrow, so much hope that we would get the job done. They are
responsible for our bringing this legislation to the floor. Their
outside mobilization, their advocacy with great intellectual integrity
has made all the difference.
Today, House Democrats will vote to reinstate the assault weapons ban
with strong protections for children and families. The bill prohibits
the sale, manufacture, transfer, or possession of semiautomatic assault
weapons, as well as high-capacity magazines. And contrary to what the
gentleman on the other side of the aisle said, it requires safe storage
for lawfully owned assault weapons already in our communities. It is
not about taking guns away from people who should have them, it is
about safe storage. Do you have a problem with that?
It strongly supports our law enforcement heroes who should not have
to confront weapons designed for the battlefield instead in our
communities.
To be clear, this is a very special day in the Congress of the United
States that history will record as one designed to save lives.
For his passionate, persistent leadership on this legislation, let me
salute Congressman David Cicilline, who has been fighting ferociously
on this issue for years and years. To Lucy McBath, who has been, again,
a member of the committee of jurisdiction, an intellectual resource, a
strategic thinker, and an inspiration to all of us, who turned her
personal grief into action and makes a difference, I thank her. I also
thank Chairman Jerry Nadler, chair of the Judiciary Committee, for
steering this legislation through the Judiciary Committee and to the
floor. Also, I recognize, once again, President Joe Biden's longtime
leadership on this issue and the beautiful words he expressed about
this when we were celebrating the bipartisan safety bill recently.
Mr. Speaker, all those who have had the privilege of serving in these
hallowed Halls take a solemn oath to the American people. At the heart
of our oath is our duty to protect and defend the Constitution, the
American people.
With this legislation, we honor this foremost responsibility. When
the House returns in August, we will bring to the floor a robust public
safety package beyond this. Let me be clear: House Democrats are for
people over politics and say to our friends in this body and down the
hall and wherever they are: Your political survival is insignificant
compared to the survival of children who are at the mercy of these
guns.
We believe that every American deserves to live in a safe community
where they and their families can thrive. That is why Democrats are
funding our police while making reforms for better law enforcement
training and accountability as we give them the tools they need to
prevent crime.
We are so proud of the work done by CBC chair Joyce Beatty working
with Representatives Josh Gottheimer and Abigail Spanberger to write
historic legislation that prioritizes meeting the needs of our law
enforcement officers while at the same time having accountability. That
is historic. We haven't done that before.
I am more confident than ever that we will pass a package rooted in
two of the Democrats' most cherished values: justice and safety.
I urge my colleagues to support the assault weapons ban, recognizing,
again, that the survival of our children is more important than the
political survival of any of us.
I urge a strong and, hopefully, bipartisan vote to put people over
politics by reinstating the assault weapons ban.
Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from
North Carolina (Mr. Hudson).
Mr. HUDSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in opposition to H.R. 1808, the
Assault Weapons Ban of 2022.
Here they go again.
Once again, my colleagues across the aisle have rushed to exploit
your fear and the pain of victims to rush out a gun control measure
that will do nothing to save lives or address the root causes of
violence.
I say, ``exploit your fear,'' and I point to the Speaker of the House
just stood in this well with a poster that had a toy gun on it and
wants you to feel scared about that. Well, I have a 6-year-old son, and
he has toy guns. He knows about muzzle discipline. He knows you don't
put your finger on the trigger. He knows you don't point it at people.
I am able to teach my son gun safety and make him safer.
You don't live through fear. This and other gun control measures like
red flag laws, they make the other side feel better, but today's bill
will do nothing but disarm law-abiding citizens.
Congress has tried this before. In 1994, a 10-year assault weapons
ban was first enacted. This ban did not stop violent crime or prevent
heart-wrenching tragedies like Columbine. Yes, Columbine happened while
we had an assault weapons ban.
In fact, after the ban ended, the Department of Justice issued a
report that concluded: ``Should it be renewed, the ban's effects on gun
violence are likely to be small at best and perhaps too small for
reliable measurement. Assault weapons were rarely used in gun crimes
even before the ban.'' That is the Department of Justice.
The results are in, folks. A so-called assault weapons ban does not
work. But what it does is it takes away your rights and it leaves you
vulnerable.
The simple truth is criminals don't follow the law. Think about this:
If
[[Page H7513]]
criminals followed the law, we wouldn't have any crime. But when you
criminalize guns, only criminals are going to have guns.
So I urge you to vote ``no'' on this legislation.
Mr. Speaker, law-abiding Americans are sick and tired of these
political games that exploit the pain of victims of shootings but do
not work and seriously threaten your rights and your safety.
So today, I urge my colleagues to oppose this unconstitutional ban
and ineffective gun control measure.
Instead, I ask you again to please work with me to actually address
the root causes of violence.
We can pass bills like my STOP II, Secure Every School and Protect
our Nation's Children Act today, which would protect schools, improve
mental health, and save lives.
We have solutions that work . . . without taking away your rights.
So I urge my colleagues to vote no.
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 4 minutes to the gentleman from
Rhode Island (Mr. Cicilline), the sponsor of this bill and a member of
the Judiciary Committee.
Mr. CICILLINE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 1808, the
Assault Weapons Ban, legislation that will help reduce the gun
massacres being committed in our communities by weapons of war.
These military-style weapons were designed for the battlefield for
maximum efficiency when a soldier is engaged in combat.
And the military features banned by this bill are added to make these
guns more accurate, more controllable, more concealable, and more
deadly, enabling killers to murder as many people as possible as
quickly as possible.
These weapons have no place in our communities. They turn our
streets, our schools, our grocery stores, our movie theaters, and
hospitals into bloody battlefield scenes, and they kill our children,
our friends, our neighbors, and the police officers trying to protect
them.
In 2016 and 2017 alone, more than two dozen officers were slain in
the line of duty by an assault weapon. One in five officers is killed
in the line of duty by these weapons, which is why the Major City
Police Chiefs Association endorses this legislation.
Yet for nearly 18 years, we failed to take action to stop them from
flooding into our communities and being used time and time and time
again in mass shootings.
It is unconscionable that anyone can walk into a store and legally
purchase a weapon capable of inflicting the carnage we have seen in
Highland Park, in Buffalo, in Uvalde, in Atlanta, in Sutherland
Springs, in Las Vegas, in Orlando, in Parkland, and the list goes on
and on.
Today, the House is finally taking a long overdue and necessary step
to reinstitute a ban on these exceptionally dangerous weapons.
We didn't just come up with this proposal out of thin air and propose
it, the original assault weapons ban was in place from 1994 to 2004,
and we have clear evidence that it was effective in reducing these
killings.
Compared with the decade before its adoption, the 1994 assault
weapons ban was associated with a 25 percent drop in gun massacres and
a 40 percent drop in fatalities.
As soon as the ban expired, fatalities and shootings skyrocketed
again.
When an assault weapon is used during a mass shooting, six times as
many people are shot.
Today, I am imploring my colleagues to take action to get these
weapons of war designed for maximum destruction of human life off our
streets.
Let me be clear: I respect the Second Amendment, but it is not
without limits. Imagine if we clung to the desire to protect our
children and our communities as tightly as some of my colleagues cling
to their rifles.
There are more guns than people in this country, more mass shootings
than days in the year. This is a uniquely American problem.
This bill won't stop all gun violence, but it will effectively
decrease it.
Because they were designed for military combat, these weapons don't
just kill, they decimate. The shots fired can tear a softball-sized
wound into a victim.
We know how we can reduce the suffering. Researchers estimate if we
still had a Federal assault weapons ban, we would see a 70 percent
decline in mass shooting deaths. Let that sink in. If the ban had
remained in effect, 70 percent of the families torn apart by these
massacres would still have their loved ones.
We can't bring back 70 percent of these victims to their families and
friends, but we can work to prevent more carnage moving forward.
Let me end by saying this: In my faith tradition, we were taught that
whoever destroys a soul it is considered as if they destroyed an entire
world; and whoever saves a life, it is considered as if they saved an
entire world.
Let's come together to save lives. Pass this bill.
Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from
Florida (Mr. Rutherford).
Mr. RUTHERFORD. Mr. Speaker, America doesn't have a gun violence
problem, we have a human violence problem. But those across the aisle
don't want to talk about that because then you have to talk about the
culture of death that we have created in this country. Killing 63
million unborn children. Denying the sanctity of life. That is the
conversation that they don't want to have.
Mr. Speaker, as a former police officer, I have encountered many
dangerous people with guns, and we stopped them before they hurt
themselves or others. We identified them. We identified the threats
that they were making. Then we were able to intervene and stop those
individuals before they became a shooter.
That is what we should be focused on in the wake of these recent
tragedies. Give law enforcement the tools and resources to stop those
who have shown a propensity to become violent. That is what we should
be focusing on, not defunding the police, not demoralizing the police,
not delegitimizing the police. We should be focused on assisting the
police and identifying these individuals who want to commit crime.
{time} 1615
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from
California (Ms. Lofgren), a distinguished member of the Committee on
the Judiciary.
Ms. LOFGREN. Mr. Speaker, America doesn't have to be the only country
where mass shootings occur, sometimes daily.
Sometimes I hear people say, ``Well, it is a mental health problem.''
I will tell you what, people have mental health problems in countries
all over the world, but only one country has mass shootings the way
America does. We need to have an answer to this.
The killer that killed my constituents at the Gilroy Garlic Festival
couldn't buy the assault weapon in California, so he just went over to
Nevada and bought it there.
We need a national answer. We know it works. When the last ban
expired, the number of mass shooting deaths increased by 483 percent.
Americans deserve to be safe and to be free, free of fear that when
their kids go to school, they will be obliterated. We need to put the
American people ahead of politics. We need to put American children
ahead of politics. We need to vote ``yes.''
Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from
Arizona (Mr. Biggs).
Mr. BIGGS. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding.
Mr. Speaker, we do have a culture of human violence. Recently, a 16-
year-old young man with three felony arrests in the past 4 months
violently attacked and attempted to choke a New York subway police
officer. He was released without bail. That is what is happening where
you have the left in charge of criminal justice systems.
Why do I bring that up? Because that individual punched that police
officer more than 20 times in his attempts to basically kill that
officer. Personal weapons such as hands, fists, or feet accounted for
600 homicides in 2019, according to official reports. Mr. Speaker,
1,476 murders were committed with knives or cutting instruments, and
364 homicides were committed with rifles.
Do you see the distinction here? But what the Democrats are going for
is they want to take away someone's constitutional right instead of
enforcing the law for people who are criminally violent. They are going
to release those people back into your streets.
The Supreme Court has held the Second Amendment protects arms in
common use. But at markup, Chairman
[[Page H7514]]
Nadler admitted that the purpose of the bill is to ban firearms that
are in common use. Think about that. That does violence to the
Constitution. They simply want to ban guns, and this is just another
step along that path.
At markup, it became very clear that Democrats don't even understand
the guns that they are trying to ban, but they don't care because when
they say they want to put politics above people, or that we shouldn't,
what they really mean is they are going to.
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the distinguished
gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Jackson Lee), a member of the Committee on
the Judiciary.
Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Speaker, I think that we will spend most of our
time here today where facts will be told and then rhetorical
conversations will be told, as well.
Fact: The Constitution, in the Second Amendment, does not prohibit
the ban on assault weapons.
Fact: H.R. 1808, led by Mr. Cicilline, allows gun owners to hold
their guns. This deals with the transfer of guns.
Fact: As we can see, the lives of our children are lost through
carnage, bloodshed, and murder--fact--by the hands of an AR-15, an
assault-style weapon.
Fact: Our fellow citizens are killed by an AR-15, -14, an assault-
style weapon.
Fact: Mass carnage is not done by a knife, a BB gun. It is not done
by throwing a water bomb or words. It is not done by taking a bus and
running over citizens. It is done by assault-style weapons.
So, I rise today to support H.R. 1808 because I am tired of a fact of
doing nothing.
Mayor Bowser has a right to complain about Governor Abbott generating
individuals unfairly, unjustly, and wrongly to another jurisdiction.
But the fact is that these weapons have killed.
So, without any concern, we are now offering facts. Anyone that
suggests that we are taking guns from good gun owners, we are not.
Mr. Speaker, I ask unanimous consent to include in the Record three
articles from The Washington Post, CBS News, and KXAN.
Uvalde Parents, Highland Park Survivors Demand Assault Weapons Ban
(By Ellie Silverman)
Kimberly Rubio keeps trying to picture the classroom
through her 10-year-old daughter Lexi's eyes, haunted by the
different ways that May day could have ended.
What side of the room did Lexi run toward with her
classmates, huddling and fearing for their lives? What if
Rubio had taken her daughter home earlier after an award
ceremony that day? What if the outside door locked properly?
What if police had immediately engaged the suspected gunman?
But the one question that lawmakers should ask themselves
every morning and night, she posed, was: ``What if the gunman
never had access to an assault weapon?''
``We are no longer asking for change,'' Rubio, 33, said to
a cheering crowd of about 200 people at the U.S. Capitol on
Wednesday. ``We are demanding it.''
Rubio was one of several people who spoke at a rally about
the ways gun violence had irreparably harmed their lives and
demanded a federal ban on assault weapons.
Those gathered wore bright orange shirts and included
community members from Highland Park, Ill., where a gunman
killed seven adults and injured dozens more during a Fourth
of July parade, and parents of children who were among the 21
people killed in May at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde,
Tex.
Rubio's daughter Alexandria Aniyah Rubio, known as Lexi,
was one of the children killed.
Many openly grieved at the rally, crying during Rubio's
remarks. A mother at the Highland Park parade recounted how
she fled, holding her 1-year-old daughter in her arms as she
was grazed by a bullet. Parents shared the terrifying
questions they're hearing from their young children who
survived shootings. And speaker after speaker demanded more
sweeping federal action to curb the scourge of gun violence.
Last month, President Biden signed a bipartisan gun-control
bill into law, the most significant of its kind in three
decades. It expands criminal background checks for some gun
buyers, bars a larger group of domestic-violence offenders
from purchasing firearms, and funds programs that would allow
authorities to seize guns from troubled individuals. However,
gun control advocates, and Biden himself, have noted that the
legislation does not include everything they hoped for.
During an event on the White House's South Lawn on Monday
billed as ``commemorating the historic achievement of the
passage of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act,'' the father
of a 17-year-old boy killed in the 2018 massacre at a high
school in Parkland, Fla., heckled the president. demanding
more action to curb gun violence. Biden renewed calls for a
federal ban on assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition
magazines.
On Wednesday, mothers continued to step up to the lectern
near the grassy area by 1st and C streets NE and speak about
their children, friends and relatives who died of gun
violence and the ways survivors grapple with anxiety attacks,
fear and guilt. Democratic lawmakers from Illinois, including
Sen. Tammy Duckworth; Rep. Brad Schneider, whose district
includes Highland Park; and Rep. Jan Schakowsky, also spoke
at the rally before the crowd marched toward the Capitol.
Nubia Hogan, 45, stood among the crowd and held a poster
with a photo of her father, Eduardo Uvaldo.
Uvaldo was at the July Fourth parade with Hogan and their
relatives when gunfire rained on the crowd. The parade was a
family tradition and Uvaldo's favorite holiday, she said.
Hogan said she thought about how when gunfire erupted from
a nearby rooftop, she froze. Her son, Brian Hogan, 13, yelled
to run and the family tried to flee. A bullet hit Brian in
the arm and fragments hit Nubia Hogan's mother, too. Uvaldo
was also struck and was rushed to the hospital, where he died
two days later.
``I get anxiety really bad. I get nightmares, waking up to
hearing `boom boom' like the shots,'' said Nubia Hogan, of
Waukegan, Ill. ``These types of guns should not be out there
for civilians. These are for the military and for police.''
She plans to continue with activism around this issue,
joining the many other people who have channeled their grief
into advocacy for change. Thousands of people gathered
earlier this summer on the National Mall to join the rally
staged by March for Our Lives, the organization founded by
student survivors of the mass shooting in Parkland, where a
gunman killed 17 people.
Still, more than 115,000 students have been exposed to gun
violence on K-12 campuses during regular hours since the
Parkland massacre, according to a Washington Post database.
Brett Cross, 39, stood toward the back of the crowd and
said he thought about his nephew, 10-year-old Uziyah Garcia,
and how the ``system'' didn't protect his family and so many
others. The day of the shooting in Uvalde, his wife raced
over to the school where Cross said police pushed and blocked
parents from entering the building to save their children.
In the first classroom the gunman entered, Cross said, was
his nephew, ``Uzi,'' the young boy who was fast, always
racing people, and who aspired to make music, be a YouTuber
and one day become a police officer to help people.
``Those same cops that he looked up to failed him and his
classmates,'' Cross said.
His 10-year-old son and Uzi shared a room together but now,
his son doesn't want to be in there. Cross bought a cot and
placed it next to his bed, where the two hold hands before
falling asleep.
``He said he wanted to go to school that day so that he
could have done something,'' Cross said. ``He wants to know
why an 18-year-old kid can go buy these weapons, why it took
his brother from him.''

Gunmakers Made Over $1 Billion in Assault Weapon Sales in the Past
Decade, Congressional Report Finds
(By Clare Hymes)
An investigation by the House Oversight and Reform
Committee found that manufacturers of the firearms used in
some of the nation's deadliest mass shootings have made over
$1 billion in revenue from military-style assault-rifles in
the past decade.
The committee said the industry reaped those profits in
part through marketing and sales tactics aimed at enticing
civilians into purchasing military-style weapons--especially
targeting younger men with opportunities to purchase
expensive firearms on credit, and by subtly referencing
extremist groups, for instance invoking imagery identified
with these groups. The findings were published ahead of an
Oversight Committee hearing on Capitol Hill Wednesday on the
marketing practices and the profits of the country's top five
gun manufacturers.
Committee Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney said the companies
market the weapons ``to children, preying on young men's
insecurities, and even appealing to violent white
supremacists.''
During the hearing, the committee heard from the CEOs of
two of those manufacturers, Christopher Killoy, president and
chief executive of Sturm, Ruger & Co, and Marty Daniel, CEO
of Daniel Defense. A rifle used in the recent mass shooting
at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, that was used to
kill 21 students and teachers was made by Daniel Defense.
Smith & Wesson, President and CEO, Mark P. Smith was
invited to testify but ultimately did not appear at the
hearing. The committee announced it will be subpoenaing the
company for documents.
``A firearm, any firearm, can be used for good or for evil.
The difference is in the intent of the individual possessing
it, which we respectfully submit should be the focus of any
investigation into the root causes of criminal violence
involving firearms,'' Killoy
[[Page H7515]]
told the committee in his opening statement. ``
The committee, which was led by the Democratic lawmakers,
produced an investigation into Smith & Wesson, Bushmaster,
Ruger, Daniel Defense and Sig Sauer that alleged that the
manufacturers engaged in ``disturbing sales tactics'' that
targeted young men as a means to ``prove their manliness,''
according to the report.
The committee also noted that despite the rise in gun
violence and the pervasiveness of mass shootings, that rifle
sales have continued to increase.
Smith & Wesson, the manufacturer of the firearms used at
the massacres in Highland Park, Parkland, and San Bernardino,
has made at least $695 million in revenue from AR-1-style
rifle sales alone in the past decade. Between 2019 and 2021,
its revenues more than doubled from all long guns, from $108
million to $253 million.
Daniel Defense tripled its revenues of its AR-15-style
rifles from $40 million in 2019 to over $120 million in 2021.
Since 2012 Daniel Defense has made $528 Million from AR-15
style rifles.
Ruger's earnings followed a similar trend, tripling from
$39 million in 2019 to over $103 million in 2021. Over the
past decade its AR-15-style firearm revenue totaled $514
million. Ruger's weapons were used in the massacres at
Sutherland Springs that left 25 dead, and Boulder, Colorado,
resulting in the deaths of 10 people.
Sig Sauer refused to provide the committee with figures
that would detail the revenues from AR-15 style rifles. Its
firearms were used in the mass shootings at the Pulse
Nightclub in Orlando, which killed 49 people, and at a Las
Vegas music festival where 60 died.
Bushmaster only provided the committee with revenue figures
for 2021, citing its recent acquisition by another company,
and disclosed that it had earned $2.9 million from the sales
of AR-15-style rifles. Bushmaster firearms were used in the
racially motivated shooting in Buffalo, New York that killed
10 people, and in the 2012 mass shooting at Sandy Hook
Elementary school in Newtown, Connecticut, where 27 died.
Maloney, said the committee found the manufacturers had
engaged in ``dangerous marketing tactics'' as part of their
efforts to sell assault weapons.
``None of these companies take even basic steps to monitor
the deaths and injuries caused by their products,'' Maloney
said. ``That is beyond irresponsible.''
She asked the CEOs of Ruger and Daniel Defense whether they
would accept responsibiity for their companies' roles in mass
murders that took place in places like Southerland Springs,
Highland Park and Uvalde, and whether they would apologize to
victims and their families.
``Chairwoman Maloney, these acts are committed by
murderers. The murderers are responsible,'' Daniel replied.
``Congresswoman, with all due respect, while I grieve like
all Americans at these tragic incidents,'' Killoy said. ``To
blame the firearm is [to blame] an inanimate object.''
Earlier this month, advocates from Everytown for Gun Safety
filed a complaint with the Federal Trade Commission, asking
it to investigate the marketing practices of Daniel Defense,
alleging the manufacturer violates the law by ``marketing
assault weapons to the civilian market with violent and
militaristic imagery'' and ``appealing particularly to the
thrill-seeking and impulsive tendencies of susceptible teens
and young men who are attracted to violence and military
fantasies.''
The FTC declined to comment regarding investigation
requests but told CBS News it has not taken any legal action
against gun manufacturers. CBS News has reviewed similar
complaints against gun manufacturers brought to the FTC since
1996 but has not found any evidence that the agency has ever
taken any action against the industry for its marketing
practices.
Daniel Defense's marketing has drawn particular scrutiny
since the Uvalde shooting for targeting ``at-risk young
men.'' Its Instagram account features photos of members of
the military holding its weapons, as well as celebrities such
as actor Josh Brolin in ``Sicario 2'' and Post Malone
wielding its products. Promotional videos from the
manufacturer also feature dramatizations of law enforcement
and military drills using their weapons.
The committee's report cites Palmetto State Armory's ``Big
Igloo Aloha'' AK-47-style assault rifle which is designed
with a floral pattern, a reference to the Boogaloo movement,
a violent far right, anti-government group which is often
associated with wearing floral-print shirts. The committee
found that Daniel Defense posted an lnstagram photo in June
2021 of its M4A1 assault rifle that had been accessorized
with a similar floral pattern.
The committee began investigating the manufacturers in May
after the mass shootings in Uvalde and Buffalo.
None of the five manufacturers immediately responded to CBS
News' request for comment.
The House is scheduled to vote on Friday on the first
assault weapons ban proposed since 1994.

`I Will Not Let my Students Die in Vain': Uvalde Teacher Calls for
Assault Weapons Ban in His Town
(By Jala Washington)
Uvalde, Texas (Nexstar).--There's now a petition to stop
the sale of all assault rifles in Uvalde. Who is the one
helping lead this effort? A teacher who watched his students
be murdered and wounded himself.
Arnulfo Reyes, posted on his Facebook page on Wednesday
saying: ``I meant what I said and said what I meant. I will
not let my students die in vain. Now Uvalde back me up.
#uvaldeatrong.''
This comes just over two months after he lost his students
in the May 24 Robb Elementary School shooting.
The petition is addressed to Randy Klein, the principal
owner of the Oasis Outback. It's a bar and grill that also
sells ``archery supplies including ammunition, targets, tree
stands, fishing rods, reels, and tackle,'' according to its
website.
The Oasis is where the accused Uvalde gunman bought the
rifle--within days of his 18th birthday--according to
investigators.
The petition authors are a group called, ``Uvalde Strong
for Gun Safety.'' They wrote:
Mr. Klein,
As you know, on May 24, 2022, a massacre occurred in our
community at Robb Elementary School that resulted in the
untimely and tragic death of nineteen children and two
teachers. It was an assault rifle purchased at your place of
business that was used in the shooting. This tragedy will
undeniably negatively impact the community at large for
generations to come. Therefore, we write to you today with
great urgency.
Soon after the murders befell our town, we formed an
organization called Uvalde Strong for Gun Safety. Many
citizens from Uvalde and the surrounding areas are members of
this group, as well as individuals from all over the country.
We recognize that Oasis Outback has positively served the
community in several ways and performs a vital role in
contributing to our municipality's vibrancy. The members of
this group feel strongly about our second amendment rights
and support your establishment's commitment to selling guns
and ammunition. However, we come to you today with a request.
Out of RESPECT for and in support of those affected by this
catastrophe, we strongly urge you to cease the sale of
assault rifles and the ammunition paired with them. In
addition, we ask that you discontinue the handling of gun
transfers of this style of firearm from gun retail stores and
manufacturers. Doing so will ensure that children across
Uvalde County will never have to worry about a new purchase
of this type of weapon. We hope you will comply with our
request over the next thirty days.
Stand with us! Your support will help us heal as a
community. We thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Uvalde Strong for Gun Safety.
Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Speaker, I urge a ``yes'' vote for H.R. 1808.
That is a fact.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 1808, the ``Assault Weapons
Ban of 2022,'' that would prohibit the sale, manufacture, transfer, or
possession of semiautomatic assault weapons and large capacity
ammunition feeding devices.
Whether we call them assault weapons or AR-15 style weapons, we all
know that we are talking about civilian versions of firearms created
for the military.
Day after day, mass shooting after mass shooting, we are confronted
with the carnage that is inflicted on the human body when these weapons
of war are used against elementary-aged children, teachers, parade-
goers, high school students, worshippers, shoppers, and on and on.
In America, gun violence is the leading cause of death among children
while mass shootings occur ever increasingly each year.
It is no secret that I am adamantly opposed to assault weapons and
large capacity magazines--implements designed for war. Neither belong
in our communities.
Since the time I first joined my colleagues in the House in 2003 to
extend the Assault Weapons Ban of 1994, we have seen innumerable acts
of violence and carnage perpetrated using assault weapons and large
capacity magazines.
I have hugged far too many grieving spouses and friends, wiped away
the tears of too many loved ones left behind to pick up the pieces, and
offered condolences to countless communities across the country--
including my own.
There is no debating that when paired together, large capacity
magazines and assault weapons perform as they were designed--killing
more people quickly and efficiently.
We all know that the parents in Uvalde were asked to provide DNA
swabs to identify their murdered children because they were
unrecognizable. I am tired of seeing parents bury their children--tired
of promising that we in Congress will remove these military-style
weapons from our communities--then, returning and doing nothing.
H.R. 1808 will help gradually reduce the number of assault weapons
and large capacity magazines available--keeping them out of the hands
of criminals--while reducing the number of lives lost to gun violence,
and making us all safer, the bill still recognizes that many Americans
already own assault weapons and
[[Page H7516]]
large capacity magazines and provides ways in which they can keep their
firearms, transfer them following a background check.
The evidence is clear. Bans work. During the 1994 federal assault
weapons ban was in effect, mass shooting fatalities were 70 percent
less likely to occur. And, when the large capacity ammunition feeding
device ban was in place, there were 77 percent fewer injuries from
guns.
In the past decade, gun makers have flooded the market with assault
weapons, making over $1 billion in sales, but at a tragic cost to the
rest of us.
From 2000 to 2004, the average number of people killed from active
shooter incidents per year was 22. But from 2005 to 2021, the average
number of people killed from active shooter incidents was 68.7.
We know the common denominator here--assault weapons and large
capacity magazines--and H.R. 1808 is the solution. It is time to act.
H.R. 1808 is a necessary measure that will protect Americans and
promote public safety. We should all be tired of bracing ourselves for
the next attack on another unsuspecting gathering of Americans going
about their daily lives or identifying the nearest exits as we sit and
try to enjoy time with our loved ones or hearing children tell us about
the active shooter drills they participate in at school or camp.
I thank Representative David Cicilline for his leadership on this
important measure.
Examples of mass shootings involving assault weapons and/or large
capacity magazines
Uvalde, Texas--AR-15-style weapon killed 19 children; 2 teachers
Buffalo, New York--AR-15-style rifle killed 10 shoppers
Boulder, Colorado--Ruger AR-556 semi-automatic killed 10 people
including a police officer
Dayton, Ohio--AR-15-style weapon equipped with a 100-round ammunition
magazine to kill nine people and injure over 25 others in less than 30
seconds at a local bar
El Paso, Texas--AK-47-style weapon killed 22 at a Walmart.
Gilroy, Calif.--AK-47-style weapon wounded 17 and killed three
including a 13-year-old girl and 6-year-old
Thousand Oaks, Calif.--Glock 21 .45-caliber pistol and several high-
capacity ammunition magazines killed 12.
Pittsburgh, Pa.--AR-15-style weapon killed 11 worshipers. The
deadliest anti-Semitic attack committed against the Jewish community in
America.
Parkland, Fla.--M&P15 AR-15 military style rifle; killed 17 students
and educators.
Sutherland Springs, Texas--Ruger AR-556 Rifle; killed 26 churchgoers.
Las Vegas, Nev.--Shooter with more than 20 assault style weapons and
12 bump-fire stocks killed 58 people and wounded over 500 others.
Orlando, Fla.--Sig Sauer MCX assault rifle killed 49 and wounded 58.
The deadliest incident of violence against LGBT people in our nation's
history.
Newtown, Conn.--Bushmaster semiautomatic assault killed 26 people
including 20 children.
Aurora, Colo.--Smith & Wesson M&P15 semiautomatic assault-style rifle
with a 100-round ammunition drum and other firearms killed 12 people
and injured 58.
Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, here is the fact. This bill is
unconstitutional. The Supreme Court made clear the Second Amendment
protects firearms in common use. This bill has eight pages of weapons
and firearms that it bans, including 24 million firearms that law-
abiding American citizens possess today. That is the fact.
Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to my good friend from Texas (Mr.
Gohmert).
Mr. GOHMERT. Mr. Speaker, I thank my friend from Ohio for yielding.
Mr. Speaker, the previous assault weapons ban that was referenced by
our Speaker, I just want to make sure our record is actually correct.
The FBI that kept the data had to admit that, as sympathetic as they
were to an assault weapons ban, actually, it doesn't appear to have
really made any difference.
If we want to talk about crime since then, we can talk about the big
cities that have come under the control of Democratic authority, who
have pushed for things like no bond.
John Adams had it exactly right. This Constitution is intended for a
moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the governing
of any other. So, we are either going to have to get rid of all of our
constitutional rights--we can't even allow freedom of an assembly or
speech, much less the Second Amendment, if we are not going to teach
moral right and wrong.
What are we finding? We are finding in our schools, of course, that
they are not teaching the Ten Commandments. Instead, they are teaching
to envy. Look around, covet, see who has something more than you, and
you should envy and covet.
Just keep in mind, under the big city laws now, if you get violent,
we will give you no bond. We will let you right back out.
Do you want to know what would do more right now than banning AR-15s?
It would be to ban Democrat thinking in the big cities that is allowing
the crime rates to just explode.
We have always had guns in America. That is why there is an America.
But we never had a time like this when we were teaching our children
everything but the moral imperatives.
That is why this bill needs to go down, and we need to go after the
causes of our violence.
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished
gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Garcia), a member of the Committee on the
Judiciary.
Ms. GARCIA of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of reinstating
the assault weapons ban.
This bill would put military-grade assault weapons out of circulation
for civilians. For me, the choice between banning assault weapons and
protecting young, innocent children is a no-brainer. I put children
above guns.
It pains me deeply that the children in our communities live in fear
of suddenly losing their lives or the lives of loved ones on a daily
basis.
I am a gun owner myself, Mr. Speaker. I was raised on a farm in south
Texas, and I know how to use a gun, especially for hunting. But assault
weapons are not for hunting. They are used to kill people quickly,
efficiently, and as fast as they can. That type of weapon is used
solely for that, for killing people, and it has no place in our
communities.
One child's life is worth more than all the assault weapons in the
world.
Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from
Virginia (Mr. Cline).
Mr. CLINE. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding.
My fellow Americans, the Democrats are coming for your guns. This
assault weapons ban is unconstitutional because it would ban firearms
that are currently in common use, making the scope of the bill, a
semiautomatic assault weapons ban, overly broad by capturing millions
of sporting rifles, shotguns, and pistols that simply have certain
accessories and cosmetic features. In fact, the bill focuses mostly on
appearance, which would arbitrarily ban some firearm models while
exempting others with the same functionality.
This bill would not reduce violent crime, as Democrats claim. Studies
have shown that the effect of the last assault weapons ban in 1994 on
violent crime was perhaps too small for a reliable measurement.
Instead, what this bill and all other legislation from Democrats aimed
at gun control would do is directly infringe on the rights of law-
abiding Americans.
They are not going to stop here. There will always be a scary-looking
gun that they think needs to be banned. There will always be another
loophole that they have created out of thin air that they need to close
with more bans.
Mr. Speaker, this document says ``shall not be infringed.'' I urge a
``no'' vote.
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished
gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Neguse), a member of the Committee on the
Judiciary.
Mr. NEGUSE. Mr. Speaker, I thank the chairman for his leadership.
Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of H.R. 1808.
As the Chair, my fellow Coloradan, knows, just last year, we mourned
the loss of 10 individuals who were shot, murdered, at a grocery store
in Boulder, Colorado, in my district. Last week, we honored the 10-year
anniversary of the Aurora, Colorado, movie theater shooting.
The people in our communities fear whether they are even safe to walk
into their local grocery store and buy food for their families without
the threat of gun violence.
Since the Federal assault weapons ban expired in 2004, the scourge of
gun violence has only grown more pervasive across our country.
We have come together in the past to protect our communities. In
1994, lawmakers from both sides of the aisle
[[Page H7517]]
joined together to pass a similar piece of legislation to that that we
are voting on today.
I humbly ask my colleagues that we do the same this evening. Let's
pass this bill for our children and for safer communities.
Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Texas
(Mr. Pfluger).
Mr. PFLUGER. Mr. Speaker, I thank the ranking member for yielding.
Mr. Speaker, today, I am voting against the erosion of constitutional
rights of law-abiding Americans.
In the long history of mankind, freedom and liberty are not lost
overnight. It comes by way of a slow and gradual burn.
We have seen an unprecedented assault on our First Amendment through
the legacy media and social media giants censoring the thoughts and
opinions of individuals of the right while propping up their favorite
candidates and covering up stories that could be detrimental to their
public personas.
Policies are then implemented that are antireligious freedom, anti-
due process, anti-free assembly, and, today, anti-Second Amendment, the
right to bear arms. These rights shall not be infringed.
Instead of making families and communities safer, this backward, gun-
grabbing attempt does nothing to harden school security, address our
mental health crisis, or reverse the depreciation of our morals and
values.
No, it does nothing for that, but it tears at the fabric of our
Constitution.
Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to protect the Constitution and
vote ``no.''
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from
Pennsylvania (Ms. Dean), a member of the Committee on the Judiciary.
Ms. DEAN. Mr. Speaker, I thank the chairman for yielding.
Mr. Speaker, I have four grandchildren. The youngest, Scottie, was
born just last year, in 2021. In Scottie's world, guns kill more kids
than cars do.
{time} 1630
In Scottie's world there are 692 mass shootings every year, and when
she goes off to school, Scottie will learn her active shooter drills as
she learns to tie her shoes. We don't have to live like this if we all
only had the courage to pass the assault weapons ban to regulate
semiautomatic guns. Our gun violence crisis demands this and other
solutions. This will save lives.
Experts reveal that the casualties of mass shootings would have
dropped by 70 percent if the last assault weapons ban had stayed in
place.
How will I explain to Scottie that the other side boasts of 24
million assault-style weapons in the hands of Americans and says not
one word about the 24,000 people dead in just 7 months of this year
from guns?
We must act. Join me. Have the courage to join me. Pass the assault
weapons ban for Scottie's future and for all of our children.
Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from
Texas (Mr. Roy).
Mr. ROY. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Ohio for yielding.
Fact: This assault weapons ban bill is unconstitutional. Chairman
Nadler even recognized, when he stated that ``the problem is that these
weapons are in common use.'' And in Heller, the Supreme Court ruled
that the Bill of Rights clearly protects firearms in common use. This
is an unconstitutional piece of legislation.
Fact: The assault weapons bill will ban weapons in common use, and my
colleague will most assuredly target citizens to take their guns.
In the words of Democratic perpetual candidate Beto O'Rourke: Hell,
yes, we are going to take your AR-15 and your AK-47.
That is the truth, and everyone knows it. Don't hide behind it.
Everybody knows precisely what my colleagues on the other side of the
aisle are doing.
Fact: Less than 2 percent of all prisoners had a firearm obtained
from a retail source at the time they committed their crimes. Only 13
percent of the offenders in State prison populations obtained their
firearms from retail stores. Criminals usually don't get their guns at
gun stores through legal channels. That is a fact.
Another fact: Upwards of 80 percent crimes are committed by people
with prior arrest records, often by people with prior convictions for
violent crimes or prior weapons offenses, and almost none of our gun
control proposals--and particularly this one--are targeting this group.
That is the truth.
Those are the facts. The fact is, as Thomas Jefferson said: ``The
strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear
arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in
government.''
This is the precise kind of tyranny that my colleagues are exercising
today, precisely when they are opening our borders up to lawless
cartels and gangs, and precisely when they are defunding the police.
Precisely when they are making our communities unsafe, they want to
limit the ability of the American people to defend themselves and to
exercise their Second Amendment rights to protect their families.
That is what is happening on the floor so my colleagues can appeal to
their liberal White voters while they ignore the Black men and women
and Brown men and women who are buying weapons to defend themselves in
criminal hellholes in our country.
Mr. NADLER. Fact: Contrary to Mr. Roy, this bill takes away nobody's
weapons because existing weapons are grandfathered in if he would only
read the bill.
Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished gentlewoman from
Texas (Ms. Escobar), who is a member of the Judiciary Committee.
Ms. ESCOBAR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in strong support of the
assault weapons ban which will save lives.
Mr. Speaker, El Paso is coming up on a terrible anniversary. On
August 3, 2019, my district was the site of the deadliest targeted
attack on Latinos in modern history. Three years later, my constituents
are still recovering from their injuries.
Because Republicans have decided that unfettered access to assault
weapons is worth the routine slaughter of Americans, the domestic
terrorist who attacked my community was able to do so with a legally
purchased assault weapon.
What was once an unthinkable tragedy--the mass carnage we saw in El
Paso--is now commonplace across America. Americans are fed up, and so
am I.
Republicans have done nothing meaningful and hide behind thoughts and
prayers--a phrase so empty and devoid of action that Congress is
routinely and deservedly mocked for it.
So, Mr. Speaker, today I am proud to act. I am proud to vote on the
assault weapon ban for El Paso, for Uvalde, and for countless other
communities, and I urge my colleagues to do the same.
Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from
North Carolina (Mr. Bishop).
Mr. BISHOP of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, today the Democrats give
new meaning to the term progressive. This is the first time in American
history, I believe, that a Chamber of the Congress will pass a bill
openly defying the Supreme Court's explicit declaration of the
constitutional rights of the American people.
It represents the farthest-ever reach of the Democrats' long-pursued
massive resistance doctrine.
In markup I asked if any Democrat disputed that this bill bans guns
and magazines in common use. Chairman Nadler candidly responded:
``That's the point of the bill.''
In other words, the essence of the bill is to stop commerce in
weapons as alternatively described by the Court in Heller in 2008 as
those ``typically possessed by law-abiding citizens for lawful
purposes.''
Heller explained the origins of the right to keep and bear arms in
militia service. Ordinarily, when called for militia service, able-
bodied men were expected to appear bearing arms supplied by themselves
and of the kind in common use at the time.
The Supreme Court further explained we also recognize another
important limitation on the right to keep and bear and carry arms. In
Miller it said, as we have explained, that the sort of weapons
protected were those ``in common use at the time.''
This was explained and recapitulated in Bruen just a month ago on
June 23, and we see repeatedly that this is being
[[Page H7518]]
defied. In fact, 1 week after Bruen, the Supreme Court granted
petitions for certiorari, vacated, and remanded one State ban on MSRs
and a State ban on magazines in common use to be reconsidered.
This is in defiance of the Supreme Court.
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, contrary to Mr. Roy, I include in the Record
a report from Third Way titled ``The Red State Murder Problem''.
[From Third Way, Mar.15, 2022]
The Red State Murder Problem
(By Kylie Murdock and Jim Kessler)
Every news outlet from FOX to CNN to The New York Times to
local newspapers has a story with attention-grabbing
headlines like ``US cities hit all-time murder records.'' Fox
News and Republicans have jumped on this and framed it as a
``Democrat'' problem. They blame it on Democrat's ``soft-on-
crime'' approach and have even referred to a New York
District Attorney's approach as ``hug-a-thug.'' Many news
stories outside of Fox have also purported that police reform
is responsible for this rise in murder and have pointed to
cities like New York and Los Angeles.
There is a measure of truth to these stories. The US saw an
alarming 30% increase in murder in 2020. While 2021 data is
not yet complete, murder was on the rise again this past
year. Some ``blue'' cities, like Chicago, Baltimore, and
Philadelphia, have seen real and persistent increases in
homicides. These cities--along with others like Los Angeles,
New York, and Minneapolis--are also in places with wall-to-
wall media coverage and national media interest.
But there is a large piece of the homicide story that is
missing and calls into question the veracity of the right-
wing obsession over homicides in Democratic cities: murder
rates are far higher in Trump-voting red states than Biden-
voting blue states. And sometimes, murder rates are highest
in cities with Republican mayors.
For example, Jacksonville, a city with a Republican mayor,
had 128 more murders in 2020 than San Francisco, a city with
a Democrat mayor, despite their comparable populations. In
fact, the homicide rate in Speaker Nancy Pelosi's San
Francisco was half that of House Republican Leader Kevin
McCarthy's Bakersfield, a city with a Republican mayor that
overwhelmingly voted for Trump. Yet there is barely a
whisper, let alone an outcry, over the stunning levels of
murders in these and other places.
We collected 2019 and 2020 murder data from all 50 states.
(Comprehensive 2021 data is not yet available.) We pulled the
data from yearly crime reports released by state governments,
specifically the Departments of Justice and Safety. For
states that didn't issue state crime reports, we pulled data
from reputable local news sources. To allow for comparison,
we calculated the state's per capita murder rate, the number
of murders per 100,000 residents, and categorized states by
their presidential vote in the 2020 election, resulting in an
even 25-25 split.
We found that murder rates are, on average, 40% higher in
the 25 states Donald Trump won in the last presidential
election compared to those that voted for Joe Biden. In
addition, murder rates in many of these red states dwarf
those in blue states like New York, California, and
Massachusetts. And finally, many of the states with the worst
murder rates--like Mississippi, Kentucky, Alabama, South
Carolina, and Arkansas--are ones that few would describe as
urban. Only 2 of America's top 100 cities in population are
located in these high murder rate states. And not a single
one of the top 10 murder states registers in the top 15 for
population density.
Whether one does or does not blame Republican leaders for
high murder rates, it seems that Republican officeholders do
a better job of blaming Democrats for lethal crime than
actually reducing lethal crime.
If you're tuned in to the media, you'd think murder is
rocketing skyward in New York, California, Illinois. But
those states don't even crack the top ten.
In fact, the top per capita murder rate states in 2020 were
mostly those far from massive urban centers and Democratic
mayors and governors. Eight of the top ten worst murder rate
states voted for Trump in 2020. None of those eight has
supported a Democrat for president since 1996.
The chart below shows the top 10 murder rate states in
2020. Mississippi had the highest homicide rate at 20.50
murders per 100,000 residents, followed by Louisiana at
15.79, Kentucky at 14.32, Alabama at 14.2, and Missouri at
14. The national average was 6.5 per 100,000 residents, but
the top five states had rates more than twice that high.
These red states are not generating ``murder is out of
control'' national headlines. They seem to generate no
headlines at all. The rest of the top ten were filled out by
South Carolina, New Mexico, Georgia, Arkansas, and
Tennessee--all states rarely talked about in breathless media
reports about rampant crime in Democratic strongholds.
Notably, New Mexico and Georgia were the only Biden-voting
states in the top ten, and they ranked seventh and eighth,
respectively.
Five of the largest Biden-voting states by population, and
those often in the news when it comes to crime, had much
lower murder rates. New York at 4.11 per 100,000 residents,
California at 5.59, and New Jersey at 3.70 were each well
below the national average. Pennsylvania (7.22) and Illinois
(9.20) were higher than the national average. But
Mississippi's murder rate was nearly 400% higher than New
York's, more than 250% higher than California's, and about
120% higher than Illinois's. In fact, the five states with
the highest murder rates, all Trump-voting states, had rates
at least 240% higher than New York's murder rate and at least
150% higher than California's, the homes to some of the
largest cities featured prominently in the ``crime is out of
control'' narrative.
Beyond the top 10, we looked at the 2020 murder rates in
the 25 states that voted for Donald Trump and compared it
with the murder rates in the 25 states that voted for Joe
Biden. The 8.20 murders per 100,000 residents rate in Trump
states was 40% higher than the 5.78 murders per 100,000
residents in Biden states. These Biden-voting states include
the ``crime-is-out-of-control'' cities of Los Angeles, New
York City, Chicago, Detroit, Philadelphia, Portland,
Baltimore, and Minneapolis, among other large cities.
Among the 50 states, murder rates were often well above the
national average in many Republican-controlled states and
cities. Jacksonville with 176 homicides and a murder rate
(19.776) more than three times that of New York City (5.94)
has a Republican mayor. Tulsa (19.64) and Oklahoma City
(11.16) have Republican mayors in a Republican state and have
murder rates that dwarf that of Los Angeles (6.74).
Lexington's Republican mayor saw record homicides in 2020 and
2021, with a murder rate (10.61) nearly twice that of New
York City. Bakersfield (11.91) and Fresno (14.09) each have
Republican mayors and murder rates far higher than either San
Francisco or Los Angeles.
Of course, some cities controlled by Democrats have
alarming murder rates, like Chicago (28.49) and Houston
(17.32). But we hear about these and other Democrat-run
cities all the time. We aren't getting the whole picture.
In 2020, murder rates increased nearly everywhere. But they
increased more in Trump-voting states than Biden-voting
states, albeit slightly. The average increase in murder rate
across all Trump-voting states was 32.2% compared to 30.8% in
Biden-voting states.
Three out of the five states with the highest murder rates
in 2020--Mississippi, Missouri, and Alabama--didn't have
reliable 2019 data available, so they weren't included in
this analysis.
Three of the five states with the largest increase in
murder rate were Trump-voting Wyoming at 91.7%, South Dakota
at 69%, and Nebraska at 59.1%. These states are decidedly
rural and do not conform to the chaos-in-the-city meme that
has overtaken the crime debate. Biden-voting Wisconsin came
in at the number three spot at 63.2% and Minnesota came in
fifth at 58.1%. Out of the top ten states, six were Trump-
voting states--with the additional three being Kentucky, West
Virginia, and Kansas. The remaining states in the top ten
were Delaware and Washington. Only one of the top ten states
in murder rate increases, Delaware, was among the top twenty
in population density.
Again, California, New York, and Illinois aren't in the top
ten. California's murder rate increase was 31.1%, or about
the national average. Both New York (45.8%) and Illinois
(38.2%) were above the national average.
The current narrative around crime and murder is convenient
and wrong. Whether you're watching CNN or Fox News, or
getting news online or from a traditional newspaper, you
would think that the increase in murder is a phenomenon found
mostly in liberal cities. Many have tried attributing this
increase to Democratic policies, specifically police reform.
Republican lawmakers and ad makers have contributed to this
narrative through clever messaging and strategies.
But the data clearly paint a different story. The increase
in murders is not a liberal cities problem but a national
problem. Murder rates are actually higher in Republican,
Trump-voting states that haven't even flirted with ideas like
defund the police. Eight of the ten most lawless, high-murder
states are not only Trump-voting states, but GOP bastions for
the last quarter of a century. A more accurate conclusion
from the data is that Republicans do a far better job blaming
others for high murder rates than actually reducing high
murder rates.
We sought 2019 and 2020 murder data from all 50 states. Our
primary source was the annual crime reports released by state
governments, more specifically from their Departments of
Justice or Public Safety. We chose state data because we
found it's more comprehensive than FBI data which is often
compiled later. For example, ``the FBI estimated crime
statistics for Mississippi are based on data received from
113 of 251 law enforcement agencies in the state that year.''
37 states had crime reports for the years 2019 and 2020:
Alaska, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut,
Delaware, Florida, Iowa, Idaho, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky,
Massachusetts, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, North
Carolina, North Dakota, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey,
Nevada, New York, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South
Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia,
Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. For the remaining states
we pulled data from published public sources: Alabama--US
News, Georgia--US News, Hawaii--The Center Square, Indiana--
Hartford City News
[[Page H7519]]
Times, Louisiana--US News, Maryland--Ocean City Today,
Mississippi--US News, Missouri--US News, New Mexico--US News,
Ohio--Axios, Oregon--KOIN, Vermont--WCAX, West Virginia--The
Center Square. In seven states, the public sources only
provided murder per capita rates, so using the rates and
census population data, we estimated the number of murders in
that state. Data and sources are attached above.
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished
gentlewoman from Florida (Ms. Wasserman Schultz).
Ms. WASSERMAN SCHULTZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of this
assault weapons ban to reclaim our streets, churches, schools, and
synagogues.
Assault weapons are killing machines and the weapon of choice for
mass murderers. In my own county, in Parkland, a lone teenager
slaughtered 17 people by himself all because he had an assault weapon.
This deranged individual tragically, brutally killed and then
overturned the lives of those families and forever changed our entire
community.
But this is no isolated case. Similar mass murders haunt Las Vegas,
El Paso, Buffalo, Uvalde, Orlando, Pittsburgh, and too many other
communities for me to list here today.
No parent should fear seeing a child off to a mall, movie theater, or
school knowing that a killer wielding a weapon designed to kill as many
people as possible and as fast as possible may lie in wait for them.
We need a whole-of-government solution to this health epidemic,
including enforced ammunition background checks.
Let's take these killing machines off our streets and end this fear
that one person with one assault weapon in one moment can tragically
tear countless lives apart.
Republicans take note: the Supreme Court clearly allows limitations
on weapons in their decisions. Repeating a falsehood doesn't make it
true.
Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from
Wisconsin (Mr. Fitzgerald).
Mr. FITZGERALD. Mr. Speaker, I thank the ranking member for yielding.
There is a motion to recommit that I would like to offer. If we adopt
the motion to recommit, we will instruct the House Committee on the
Judiciary to consider the amendment to H.R. 1808 which excludes Active
Duty and retired military from the ban on assault weapons.
I, therefore, ask unanimous consent to include the text of the
amendment in the Record immediately prior to the vote on the motion to
recommit.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is there objection to the request of the
gentleman from Wisconsin?
There was no objection.
Mr. FITZGERALD. Mr. Speaker, just imagine a 17-year-old makes a
decision to enlist in the Army, the Marine Corps, or the Navy. And then
that 17-year-old goes through 8 weeks of basic combat training at one
of the basic training centers in Fort Jackson or Fort Knox or Fort
Benning. Then they are given a service weapon, an M16 typically, and
then they are taught to assemble and disassemble that weapon down to
the bolt.
They will go through training with a drill sergeant on a range and
they are taught how to fire their service weapon in live-fire
exercises. Then the 17-year-old will go on to AIT to be taught their
specialty and continue to be on Active Duty or the Reserves or in the
National Guard and then potentially deployed.
What this bill seeks to do is prevent this member of the military who
comes home, either to the Reserve unit or National Guard unit or on
Active Duty, from purchasing a rifle that they can use on their own.
My colleagues who support the bill are saying: We trusted you to join
the service. We encouraged you to join the service. But then when it
comes down to it, we really don't trust you to go out and purchase that
weapon.
It makes no sense.
If the majority is going to snub every veteran in this country by
saying: We don't trust you. Then how can the U.S. Government ask
someone to enlist when they don't trust them to have the same
responsibility with their own personal weapon?
Mr. Speaker, if we adopt the motion to recommit, we will instruct the
Committee on the Judiciary to consider my amendment to H.R. 1808 to
ensure that the Nation's Active Duty members and veterans will be
trusted.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.
Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield the gentleman from Wisconsin an
additional 30 seconds.
Mr. FITZGERALD. Mr. Speaker, it is so amazing to me that the majority
rejected this in the Judiciary Committee. They talk a good game when it
comes to veterans, but when it comes right down to it, they don't trust
them.
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished
gentleman from Illinois (Mr. Schneider).
Mr. SCHNEIDER. Mr. Speaker, today I rise in emphatic support of H.R.
1808, the Assault Weapons Ban of 2022.
Over the past few weeks, survivors of the horrific shooting in
Highland Park, Illinois, came to D.C. determined to make change. They
teamed up with Uvalde, Parkland, and Newtown to demand an assault
weapons ban to reduce the chance of other communities experiencing the
trauma they all tragically bear.
Today, thanks in no small part to their efforts, the American people
will get that recorded vote. The world is watching. No other nation
experiences the grotesque number of murders from deranged individuals
turning weapons of war on kids in school, families at prayer, and
people watching a parade.
The vote we are taking today will show the families of those murdered
exactly who is on their side--who is protecting our children and
putting people over politics, and, conversely, who is on the other side
voting for their own power.
Mr. Speaker, I thank Speaker Pelosi and Congressman Cicilline for
working tirelessly to secure a timely vote, and I urge passage of this
bill.
Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 3 minutes to the gentleman from
Georgia (Mr. Clyde).
Mr. CLYDE. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman from Ohio for yielding.
Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong opposition to H.R. 1808, which is just
the latest gun-grabbing bill Democrats are dangerously ramming through
in their unconstitutional crusade to disarm America.
The ink is barely dry on the anti-gun bill from last month, and here
they are pushing another anti-gun bill that proclaims to make us safer
but does the exact opposite. It puts citizens at greater risk by taking
away the rights of the law-abiding.
This legislation takes aim at our Constitution by banning what the
Democrats call assault weapons, which is a vague political term used as
a catchphrase to make the public think we are banning guns that assault
people. But the truth is that the bill would ban the most popular
semiautomatic rifle in America, the AR-15 and what the industry calls a
modern sporting rifle.
The Democrats have consistently called them weapons of war and are
trying to ban them from being purchased by law-abiding citizens.
But whom does this bill exempt?
The Federal Government. Federal Government agencies like the
Department of Health and Human Services, the Department of Education,
the Department of Labor, the Department of Housing and Urban
Development, and down the line.
So if they are weapons of war, as the Democrats call them, what do
these departments need with weapons of war?
Is the Department of Education going to use them against the moms and
dads who protest against woke local school board policies?
Is the Department of Housing and Urban Development going to use them
against the occupants in their housing developments?
You cannot have it both ways. If it is a weapon of war, then ban
these Federal agencies, too.
The truth is they are simply semiautomatic rifles the Democrats want
to demonize so they can ban more guns and take more of our citizens'
unalienable constitutional rights away.
Democrat ignorance and malice do not justify banning nearly 25
million firearms that Americans, including myself, proudly own and
responsibly use.
{time} 1645
Now I know the author of this legislation would prefer that I spare
him
[[Page H7520]]
both the prefatory clause and the supremacy clause of the Second
Amendment. But it is quite clear: ``A well regulated Militia, being
necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to
keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.''
Shall not be infringed, period, is the supremacy clause. And banning
an entire class of firearms, the most popular firearm in common use
today, is clearly infringement.
An armed America is a safe and free America. I urge all of my
colleagues to stand firm in the fight to protect and preserve the
Second Amendment by voting ``no'' on this unconstitutional and,
therefore, illegal piece of legislation.
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I include in the Record a letter of
endorsement of the assault weapons ban from the Major Cities Chiefs
Association, a professional organization of law enforcement executives
representing the largest cities in the United States.
Major Cities Chiefs Association,
July 20, 2022.
Hon. Jerrold Nadler,
Chairman, Committee on the Judiciary, House of
Representatives, Washington, DC.
Hon. Jim Jordan,
Ranking Member, Committee on the Judiciary, House of
Representatives, Washington, DC.
Dear Chairman Nadler and Ranking Member Jordan: I write on
behalf of the Major Cities Chiefs Association (MCCA), a
professional organization of law enforcement executives
representing the largest cities in the United States and
Canada. Thank you for including H.R. 1808, the Assault
Weapons Ban of 2022, in today's markup. The MCCA was proud to
endorse this legislation when it was introduced earlier this
Congress.
The MCCA has long advocated for sensible firearms and gun
safety policies. In 2018, the Association adopted a Firearms
Violence Policy that consists of several common-sense
reforms, including banning assault weapons and high-capacity
magazines. Many law enforcement officials have closely
studied assault weapons and firearms with high-capacity
magazines and determined they have no reasonable sporting or
hunting purpose.
Assault weapons and high-capacity magazines also represent
a significant threat to law enforcement officers responding
to violent crimes. For example, the suspect who murdered NYPD
Officers Jason Rivera and Wilbert Mora in January 2022 used a
firearm with a high-capacity magazine that allowed his gun to
hold 40 additional rounds. Earlier this month, Detroit PD
Officer Loren Michael Courts was killed by a suspect with an
AK-47-style pistol that would have been banned under H.R.
1808.
The MCCA encourages all Members of the Committee to support
the Assault Weapons Ban of 2022 and report it favorably
during today's markup.
Sincerely,
Jeri Williams,
Chief, Phoenix Police Department,
President, Major Cities Chiefs Association.
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I include in the Record a report from the
Violence Policy Center entitled, ``Target: Law Enforcement, Assault
Weapons in the News.''
Section One
Introduction: Background on Assault Weapons and Federal Attempts at
Their Regulation
Assault weapons. Semiautomatic assault weapons are civilian
versions of automatic military assault rifles like the AK-47
and the M-16. The civilian guns look the same as their
military brethren because they are identical functionally,
except for one feature: military assault rifles are machine
guns. A machine gun fires continuously as long as its trigger
is held back--until it runs out of ammunition. Civilian
assault rifles, in contrast, are semi-automatic weapons. The
trigger of a semiautomatic weapon must be pulled back
separately for each round fired. Because federal law has
banned the sale of new machine guns to civilians since 1986
and heavily regulates sales to civilians of older model
machine guns, there is virtually no civilian market for
military assault weapons. Nonetheless, civilian semiautomatic
assault weapons have proven every bit as deadly as their
military counterparts.
Regulation of assault weapons. The regulation of
semiautomatic assault weapons has been a contentious subject
for more than two decades.
In the 1980s foreign manufacturers (principally China)
began dumping semiautomatic versions of the Soviet-designed
AK-47 military assault rifle--a ubiquitous staple of the
world-wide small arms trade--onto the U.S. civilian firearms
market. Colt Industries, a domestic manufacturer, was also
marketing the AR-15, a semiautomatic version of its M-16
machine gun, the standard U.S. military infantry rifle. The
gun industry introduced these semiautomatic versions of
military assault weapons in order to create and exploit new
civilian markets. More particularly, the industry found in
assault weapons a product to compensate for a slump in
handgun sales. Importers and manufacturers rushed copycats
and new models to market. By the end of the decade, a roster
of semiautomatic assault weapons had become household words,
boosted into daily language as much by their glamorization in
entertainment media as by their deadly toll on America's
streets. These guns included, among others, assault pistols
like the MAC-10, MAC-11, and TEC-9, the Ruger Mini-14 rifle,
and several versions of the Israeli Military Industries UZI.
No comprehensive statistics were available about the misuse
of the hundreds of thousands of assault weapons pouring onto
the Nation's streets. But by 1988 police departments and
other law enforcement agencies were often on the receiving
end of assault weapons firepower. Many of them demanded that
the federal government take action to stringently control or
ban semiautomatic assault weapons. In February 1988, for
example, Prince George's County (Maryland) Police Chief
Michael J. Flaherty stated, ``The real issue is the safety of
our officers.'' Holding up a TEC-9 assault pistol, he added,
``It's not used for hunting, and it's not used for sporting
events. In my opinion, they should not be sold in the United
States.''
In 1989 the federal government took a modest regulatory
step. At the urging of William J. Bennett, the director of
the Office of National Drug Control Policy under President
George H. W. Bush, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and
Firearms (ATF) barred the import of a handful of specific
models, including AK-type and UZI assault rifles. The move
was based on a federal statute that effectively limits the
import of firearms to those that are ``generally recognized
as particularly suitable for or readily adaptable to sporting
purposes.'' This ``sporting purposes'' test does not apply to
domestically manufactured firearms, however. Law enforcement
officials quickly complained that the putative ban did not
reach many of the most dangerous weapons they faced,
including semiautomatic assault pistols made in the United
States (e.g., the MAC-10, MAC-11, and TEC-9, among others).
Although the Bush Administration claimed to have been
conducting a wide review with the goal of further regulation,
strong opposition by the National Rifle Association (NRA) and
the firearms industry squelched any further regulatory moves
by the Administration. Within a year, Bennett announced
himself opposed to any further regulation, declaring his
opposition at a February 1990 Senate hearing, stating, ``I
don't know a damn thing about guns!''
In 1994, President William J. Clinton signed the 1994
federal assault weapons ``ban.'' The law defined assault
weapons in two different ways--by a list of specific firearm
types, and by a generic description. Thus, the law
specifically named 19 types of guns (e.g., ``Norinco,
Mitchell and Poly Technologies Avtomat Kalashnikovs'') as
assault weapons covered by the putative ``ban.'' It also
generally defined as assault weapons semiautomatic firearms
that could accept a detachable magazine and had any two of a
list of specified design characteristics (e.g., bayonet
mount, folding stock). The 1994 law was deeply flawed. At the
outset it exempted millions of semiautomatic assault weapons
by ``grandfathering'' all such firearms legally owned as of
the date of enactment. For these guns, it was as if the law
had never been passed. They continued to be bought and sold,
many at gun shows where no questions are asked of prospective
buyers in nominally ``private'' sales. Moreover, some of the
design characteristics by which new production or imports
were to be defined as banned assault weapons were simply a
laundry list of superficial cosmetic features that had
nothing to do with the weapons' most deadly functional
features. The gun industry quickly and easily evaded the 1994
law by making slight, cosmetic changes to the supposedly
banned firearms. Gun manufacturers and importers soon openly
boasted of the ease with which they could circumvent the ban.
By the time the 1994 law expired (sunset) in 2004, there were
actually many more types and models of assault weapons
legally on the civilian market than before the law was
passed.
In April 1998 the Clinton Administration attempted to
staunch the flow of cosmetically redesigned foreign assault
weapons by strictly interpreting the ``sporting purposes''
test for imports. The action--taken independent of the 1994
law and intended to close the cosmetic redesign loophole for
imports--was reported to have blocked 58 types of assault
weapons, including in one swoop importation permits pending
at the time for as many as 1.6 million guns. Since this
administrative determination and action has never been
rescinded, it should have survived the expiration of the
broader 1994 assault weapons ban. However, there is
substantial evidence--including extensive gun industry
advertising--which compels the conclusion that the George W.
Bush Administration either ignored or effectively gutted
through administrative artifice the 1998 Clinton import
controls. This evidence includes the following facts.
There are numerous companies that appear to be importing
AK-47 and other assault weapons of the type clearly
prohibited by the import ban. The Russian American Armory
Company offers the Saiga rifle, an AK-47 variant that was one
of the guns specifically excluded from import under the 1998
Clinton rule. The Fabrique Nationale Herstal PS90 assault
rifle, a favorite of Mexican drug cartels, is manufactured in
Belgium and imported by the company's U.S. subsidiary, FN
[[Page H7521]]
USA, according to the company's catalogs and promotional
materials.
There seems to have been a substantial increase in the past
few years of assault weapons made primarily from imported
parts that skirt the import ban by incorporating a small,
minimum number of US-made parts into imported assault weapons
(27 C.F.R. Sec. 478.39 prohibits the assembly of a
semiautomatic rifle or any shotgun using more than 10
enumerated parts that are imported if the assembled firearm
is prohibited from importation under 18 USC 925(d)(3)).
ATF has further weakened the prohibition on imported
assault weapons by placing certain extremely problematic
assault rifles on the ``curios or relics'' list. Inclusion on
the ``curios or relics'' list makes a shotgun or rifle
automatically eligible for importation (18 USC
Sec. 925(e)(1)). The most problematic of these are certain
SKS assault rifles manufactured in Yugoslavia and Albania.
The SKS type assault rifle is the ``rifle most commonly
encountered by law enforcement'' according to ATF and is
frequently used to kill police officers. The Clinton
Administration specifically banned SKSs from China and Russia
from import through trade agreements because they are so
frequently involved in crime.
There are examples of firearms being imported that seem to
clearly fall outside of the ``sporting purposes'' test
articulated in 925(d)(3). For example, J&G Sales advertises
``Romanian AK Pistol[s]'' along with Romanian and Hungarian
AK-47 assault rifles.
For all practical purposes, it thus appears that the
federal government has abandoned all attempts to regulate
commerce in assault weapons into and within the United
States. As a result, an unknown but certainly substantial
number of foreign assault weapons poured into the United
States during the Bush Administration and continue to under
the Obama Administration. This is in addition to the enormous
number of firearms exempted from, or manufactured in easy
evasion of, the 1994 law. The only meaningful attempts at
regulating this flood of killing machines exist at the state
level. One outstanding example is California's assault
weapons ban, which has been hammered into an effective ban
after the now-predictable gun industry attempts to evade the
intent of the original law. Even California's law, however,
is undermined by the lack of a strong and effective federal
ban, allowing for out-of-state assault weapons to be
illegally trafficked into the state.
The current study. This study is a snapshot of the effect
of America's laissez-faire policy toward assault weapons.
Based on reports of assault weapons in the news over a two-
year span, it makes clear that assault weapons are frequently
used in crime and confiscated from criminals. Moreover, it
demonstrates that the number of incidents in which law
enforcement officers are reported to have been confronted
with assault weapons rose dramatically in the two-year period
monitored.
Section Two
Sources for This Analysis
The dearth of data. Firearms enjoy the dubious distinction
of being the only consumer product not subject to federal
public health and safety regulation. Moreover, there is no
national database tracking deaths and injuries from specific
types and models of firearms. And only the most rudimentary,
summary information is collected at any level about criminal
use of firearms. As a result, public policy analysts,
legislators, and public health and safety administrators must
make do with crude data and anecdotal analysis. This is
neither an accident nor a product of inattention. It is the
deliberate result of a coldly calculated long-term policy of
strangling information about guns and their public health
effects designed by the National Rifle Association and its
major client, the gun industry, and implemented by an all-
too-pliant Congress. The firearms industry and gun lobby know
that if as much data were available to the public about death
and injury resulting from firearms as is available about, for
example tires, toys, or Tacoma pick-up trucks, the gun lobby
would lose the public debate.
The Tiahrt Amendment. A blatant and crucial example of this
iron curtain surrounding information about the carnage and
criminality caused by firearms is a federal spending
prohibition known as the ``Tiahrt Amendment.''
For the past six fiscal years (2004 through 2010),
legislation making appropriations for ATF has contained
language severely restricting release of information about
guns traced to crime scenes contained in the agency's
Firearms Tracing System database. This restriction has become
known as the ``Tiahrt Amendment,'' after its principal
sponsor, Representative Todd Tiahrt of Kansas.
For many years, crime gun tracing data was publicly
available under the provisions of the Freedom of Information
Act (FOIA). It was an imperfect but extraordinarily useful
surrogate for a badly needed, but nonexistent, national
firearms and public health database and tracking system.
Crime gun tracing data was routinely used by city officials
and law enforcement agencies to determine the sources of
illegally trafficked firearms and to identify corrupt gun
dealers and the types of guns most often traced to crime. The
``Tiahrt Amendment'' cut off even this basic data. It
prohibits ATF from releasing any data contained in the
database, except in a limited fashion to individual law
enforcement agencies. There is also a prohibition on use of
the data in civil litigation.
Proponents of the ``Tiahrt'' restrictions claim that the
release of tracing data could interfere with ongoing law
enforcement investigations. However, prior to implementation
of the ``Tiahrt Amendment'' exemptions to the FOIA enabled
ATF to withhold any information that could interfere with law
enforcement investigations. The FOIA explicitly protects from
disclosure any information that would interfere with
enforcement or reveal confidential information. Moreover, ATF
compilations of tracing data (e.g., top 10 crime guns) bore
no conceivable relation to the compromise of any
investigation. The ``Tiahrt Amendment'' simply represents an
unwarranted and cynical restriction on public access to
information, enacted in the interest of protecting the gun
industry and acquiesced to by a Congress frightened by the
NRA.
The ``Tiahrt Amendment'' also serves to hide the source of
assault weapons used in crime--including those detailed in
this study. For example, it is impossible to document the
sources of the assault weapons used in California, where the
sale of such weapons is banned, although experience suggests
that these weapons are illegally trafficked from states with
lax gun laws such as Nevada and Arizona.
Surrogate data sources. In the absence of a responsible
national firearms information policy, researchers, public
policy analysts, and policymakers have sought out information
in various interstices of public life, such as public polling
and media reports. While none claim that these surrogate
sources of data are comprehensive or ``scientific,'' they
represent the best information available in the stark aridity
of data about guns and their effect on public health and
safety in the United States.
The current report. This report was developed in response
to a number of stories in the news media, as well as Violence
Policy Center staff conversations with law enforcement
personnel, from which it appeared that: (1) assault weapons
continue to be the source of many deaths and injuries
throughout the United States; and, (2) law enforcement
agencies have become concerned enough about the frequency of
their encounters with assault weapons that many are issuing
assault rifles to their patrol units as a way of ``evening
up'' the firepower. In short, as has so often been seen in
the past three decades, the gun industry first increased the
level of firepower available to criminals by marketing
enhanced lethality, and then persuaded the law enforcement
community that it needed to ``arm up'' in order to keep pace
with the criminals.
The information described in the following pages is based
on a compilation derived from multiple searches using a
variety of terms (``assault weapons'' and ``assault rifles,''
for example) of reports published in U.S. news media and
included in the commercial database Nexis between March 1,
2005 and February 28, 2007. Stories that recounted firearm-
related events outside of those date ranges were discarded.
For example, if a story within the date range reported an
appellate decision or trial of a shooting that occurred prior
to the date range, that story was eliminated.
No claim is made that the information compiled here is
exhaustive, much less complete. It is a fair conclusion from
common experience and examination of police records that many
more crimes of violence occur than are reported in the news
media on any given day. Recognizing this, the numbers cited
in this study most likely represent the floor, not the
ceiling, of assault weapon incidents, and are best suited to
determining overall trends, not whole numbers or rankings.
Inspection of the stories themselves indicates that in the
vast preponderance of cases they are based on law enforcement
reports. Accordingly, the use of terms such as assault weapon
or assault rifle in these cases is usually derived from
police descriptions.
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished
gentleman from New York (Mr. Higgins).
MR. HIGGINS of New York. Mr. Speaker, no technology advances more
quickly in our society than the technology of killing. Every day,
weapons of mass destruction are being made and manipulated to kill more
people more quickly.
In Buffalo, New York, May 14, one shooter, a racist shooter, went
into a supermarket on Jefferson Avenue and shot 13 people, killing 10
of them. The shooting started and was completed in 2 minutes and 3
seconds; one shooter.
I often heard it said that the best way to stop a bad guy with a gun
is a good guy with a gun. There was a good guy with a gun in the store
that day that was working security; a retired 30-year-veteran of the
Buffalo Police Department. But he was helpless because he was outgunned
by the bad guy with the gun who had an assault rifle.
I thank Mr. Cicilline for his leadership on this issue, for his
thoughtful approach to this, and I urge my colleagues to support this
legislation.
Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished
gentlewoman from California (Ms. Chu).
[[Page H7522]]
Ms. CHU. Mr. Speaker, we are the only country in the world where mass
shootings continually happen. They happen in schools, grocery stores,
malls, hospitals, parades, you name it. In America, there has not been
a single week in 2022 without a mass shooting.
Weapons of war, especially, have no place in our streets or schools
or our grocery stores. They have no place in nail salons or churches or
shopping malls.
About their horrific impact on children like this, a trauma surgeon
said the tissue destruction is almost unimaginable. Bones are exploded.
Soft tissue is absolutely destroyed. It is like a bomb went off.
But we in Congress can end this. We can end this uniquely American
plague of mass death caused by gun violence. I support the assault
weapons ban because we cannot wait to act until the next mass shooting.
We must pass this bill today.
Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I continue to reserve the balance of my
time.
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished
gentleman from Texas (Mr. Green).
Mr. GREEN of Texas. And still I rise, Mr. Speaker. I rise to announce
that I will vote for this legislation, and I will do so because I know
that there are 19 babies who were murdered at Robb Elementary School in
Texas who will never have the right to vote.
I rise to vote for it because there are two teachers who were
murdered who will never have the opportunity to seek the future that
was theirs.
I rise because we have a Governor in the State of Texas who could
have saved all of those lives if he had but only, after the shooting at
Walmart that took 23 lives, passed legislation such as what we are
passing today.
I rise because I don't want the blood of the next person murdered
with an AR-15-type weapon on my hands.
Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I continue to reserve the balance of my
time.
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished
gentlewoman from Nevada (Ms. Titus).
Ms. TITUS. Mr. Speaker, I have heard a lot of talk today about the
Constitution. Well, when the Founding Fathers wrote the Second
Amendment these kind of weapons didn't even exist. They had muskets and
flintlock pistols that could fire three or four shots in a minute, on a
good day; and they weren't very accurate at all.
The Founding Fathers did not know or anticipate these weapons of mass
destruction that shooters use to kill as many innocent people as
brutally and quickly as possible; and that is exactly what they did in
my district on October 1, 2017, when you had 60 people shot at a
concert.
I urge my colleagues on the other side to have the courage to stand
up to the NRA and support this legislation. It is common sense; it is
necessary; and it will prevent mass shootings and save lives.
Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I continue to reserve the balance of my
time.
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished
gentlewoman from Connecticut (Ms. DeLauro), the Chairman of the
Appropriations Committee.
Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, 26 souls, including 20 babies massacred at
Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Parkland, Buffalo, Uvalde; the common denominator, an AR-15-style
assault weapon, the weapon of choice.
Eight of the 10 deadliest mass shootings involved an assault weapon.
We cannot be numb to this needless violence. It is long past time for
us to act.
In Connecticut, the tragedy at Sandy Hook changed our lives forever.
These are unspeakable tragedies. They are avoidable tragedies; and they
are happening in our schools, our grocery stores, our places of
worship.
The legislation before us today will reduce the prevalence of assault
weapons, ban the purchase of assault weapons, get them off of our
streets, make our communities safer, protect our children, save their
lives.
Is that not the noblest of goals, to save lives? We have the
opportunity to do that in this body today. Enough is enough.
Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from
Kentucky (Mr. Massie), the chair of the Second Amendment Caucus.
Mr. MASSIE. Mr. Speaker, if facts are the ammunition of debate, I
point out that the other side of the aisle entered this room unarmed.
There are so many mischaracterizations or misfires, if you will,
about this bill and what this bill does that I don't know where to
start.
But let me start here with the words of the author of this bill. He
says it will ban weapons of war only suitable for soldiers in combat.
Is that what it does? Does it ban an M16? It doesn't ban an M16 or an
M4. It bans the most commonly sold rifle in the United States today and
for the last several years.
It doesn't ban weapons of war. It explicitly exempts the M1 Garand.
General Patton said the M1 Garand is the finest implement of battle
ever devised. Why is it exempted? It is a weapon of war.
It exempts the M1 Carbine. Look at the picture of the soldiers, the
marines at Iwo Jima. What were they carrying? The M1 Carbine.
It exempts the quintessential Cold War weapon, the pride of the
Chinese and the Communists, the SKS. It is exempted in this bill. These
are literal weapons of war that are not in this bill.
Now, they will come back and ban those, but they don't want to ban
them right now because they don't look scary enough. They have a wooden
forestock and a wooden butt. They not made of plastic. They don't look
like the scary stuff on the news, so they have no interest in banning
that.
Literal, actual weapons of war are not banned, but the most common
firearm sold today is banned.
But let's take them at their word. Weapons of war. These are weapons
of war. We have got to ban weapons of war.
Well, they exempt 80-some Federal agencies from the ban. Literally,
every bureaucratic agency in the government can have a weapon of war
under this bill; weapons of war as they call them.
So we offered an amendment in the committee. We couldn't conceive of
why the Department of Education would need a weapon of war to complete
their mission of educating our children; coming up with the curriculum.
We couldn't conceive of why the USDA would need weapons of war, so we
offered an amendment to exempt the USDA and the Department of Education
from being able to have these weapons of war; so-called weapons of war.
Every Democrat, even though they couldn't give us a good reason of
why these agencies would need weapons of war, or with whom they planned
to go to war--are they bringing them to the school board? Where are
they going to bring these things?
Now, they couldn't give a good reason why these agencies would need
weapons of war. But they all voted to allow these agencies to have
weapons of war.
Now, the reason they did, we came to that conclusion is, they aren't
weapons of war. It is the most common firearm sold in the United States
today. These are not weapons of war.
There was one Democrat who did articulate a reason. He said, well,
they are actually good for defense. You have might need them to defend
the Department of Education. Well, that is what the Second Amendment is
about.
It is not about making sure that the Department of Education--which,
by the way, is unconstitutional--but it is not making sure that the
Department of Education could have proper defense; it is for the people
to have proper defense. So that is the first falsehood.
Now, here is another reason that gun owners should be concerned about
this bill. Maybe you don't own one of these firearms, but if you own
guns, you know about terminal ballistics. You know what are suitable
calibers for hunting deer, for hunting coyotes.
We have heard it said here today, and in the committee, and they
showed us a video, oh, the terminal ballistics of a .223 round are so
dangerous that we need to ban these AR-15s because they shoot .223
rounds.
What they didn't show you was a video of a deer cartridge, like a
.30-06, or a 7-millimeter, or a .308.
If you are banning--if the purpose of this legislation is to ban
these firearms because they shoot a cartridge with
[[Page H7523]]
those terminal ballistics of a .223, then you plan, you absolutely plan
to come after deer rifles because they have two and three times as much
power; two and three times as much destructive and killing power as the
firearm--as the cartridge used in the firearm that you seek to ban here
today.
Another falsehood. This bill will save lives. Let me get to this. We
heard it here today. I was waiting for it. It was mentioned a couple of
times. Even the Speaker of the House mentioned it.
They have said that the 1994-2004 assault weapons ban--so-called
assault weapons--reduced crime; that crime went down. Well, guess what?
From 1995-2004, there were 2 million of these firearms imported or
manufactured and sold.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.
Mr. JORDAN. I yield an additional 30 seconds to the gentleman from
Kentucky.
Mr. MASSIE. The number of these rifles doubled in the United States
during your last assault weapons ban. If you think crime went down
because of the last assault weapons ban, then you have got some
explaining to do because the number of those rifles increased. Maybe,
just maybe people became safer.
Mr. Speaker, I urge opposition to this bill.
{time} 1700
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished
gentleman from Virginia (Mr. Connolly).
Mr. CONNOLLY. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding time.
We face two choices today in this body. One is to protect our
children, to protect our houses of worship, to protect where we shop,
to protect where we watch a movie from guns that exist for one purpose
only--mass death inflicted efficiently.
Or we can listen to the other argument, which you have heard, in
thrall to the gun manufacturers, to protect them at any cost, and you
as a citizen are collateral damage at the altar of the gun
manufacturers, and we will be bathed in blood forever.
It is time to act. It is time to end the madness and disenthrall
ourselves from automatic weapons that are mass killers.
Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from
Maryland (Mr. Hoyer), the distinguished majority leader of the House.
Mr. HOYER. Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding time.
This is, of course, an emotional debate. Some have talked about fear,
and they instill fear in the process. As Mr. Nadler has pointed out, no
weapons are taken away.
A number of Members on the other side of the aisle have gotten up and
said this is an unconstitutional bill. Yet, from 1994 to 2004, that
bill was tested in the courts. None of those courts found that
unconstitutional.
In the Heller case, which has been quoted over and over again, a very
simple statement was made by that superliberal Antonin Scalia. He said,
``Like most rights, the right secured by the Second Amendment is not
unlimited.''
From Blackstone through the 19th century cases, commentators and
courts routinely explained that the right was not a right to keep and
carry any weapon whatsoever in any manner whatsoever for whatever
purposes.
One indication of that, of course, is that we have a ban on machine
guns in America. Now, one could answer, ``Well, they are not in common
use.'' That is correct, because they are banned.
Mr. Speaker, 67 percent of Americans support an assault weapon ban.
Fifty-three percent, over half, strongly support, and another 14
percent somewhat support, for a total of 67 percent. That is in a poll
by Morning Consult on May 25, 2022.
There was another poll by Pew in September 2021 that said that 63
percent of Americans support it.
In both polls, over 60 percent of Americans, over two-thirds of
Americans, think this action makes sense.
I am sure the Founders, as they were discussing the Second Amendment,
debated whether we ought to have mass rapid-fire weapons covered by the
Second Amendment.
They had no idea. Such weapons certainly didn't exist, and they acted
within the framework of the times in which they lived.
Mr. Speaker, Congress must take action today to protect all Americans
from dangerous and deadly assault weapons. If we do so, we will still
be the country that has the most weapons per capita in the world, more
weapons than people, which you would seem to think, therefore, we ought
to be the least dangerous nation if the premise that the more people
who are armed, the less crime we will have. That seems a little
counterintuitive to me.
The weapons that we are talking about are able to kill large numbers
rapidly, used to kill 6 adults and 20 children at Sandy Hook, used to
kill 61 people in Las Vegas, used to kill 19 students and 2 teachers in
Uvalde, Texas, just a few weeks ago. From Aurora to Orlando, San
Bernardino, Buffalo, El Paso, and Highland Park, they have been
mentioned today, and we ought to mention them on a regular basis to
remind us.
We have watched assault weapons inflict mass destruction in our
communities time and time again. Not only do these weapons claim the
lives of innocent civilians, but they frequently kill members of law
enforcement who have worked to keep their communities safe.
That is why law enforcement largely, not all of them, support this
bill because they see that as one of the greatest dangers to their
lives.
Indeed, one study by the Violence Policy Center found that nearly a
quarter of all the police officers killed in the line of duty between
2016 and 2017 were killed by the same firearms that would be outlawed
under this ban.
Of those police officers killed by assault weapons, almost a quarter
of them were wearing body armor that was nevertheless penetrated by a
bullet. These types of attacks and police killings are not inevitable.
We know there is a better way. We know that because these attacks
became far less common when an overwhelmingly bipartisan coalition--
this was not some Democratic bill. It was a bipartisan bill. I will
speak more to that in just a second.
They came together in 1994 to pass a ban, including 46 House
Republicans. That measure had support from law enforcement and from
both Democratic and Republican Presidents, including Ronald Reagan.
After Republicans were in control of Congress, they allowed that ban
to expire in 2004. Mass shootings tripled.
Today, I am pleased to bring Mr. Cicilline's bill to the floor to
reinstate--reinstate--a bill that has been taken to court already. This
legislation would prohibit the possession, manufacture, sale, and
transfer of semiautomatic assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.
It does not take any of those away from any citizen.
To be clear, we are not undermining the Second Amendment. I am for a
person having the right to have a weapon not only to hunt but in his
home, in his business, to protect himself and his family, and, where
authorized, to carry upon his person--where authorized.
This bill will not lead to confiscation of firearms, notwithstanding
the fear that has been expressed, of weapons that were legally
purchased before its enactment. However, it will set safety
requirements.
Doesn't that make sense? We have safety requirements for our cars.
Doesn't it make sense to have safety requirements for weapons that can
kill?
Additionally, this legislation will provide funding for buyback
programs for those who would prefer to be responsible neighbors and
community members and relinquish their assault weapons voluntarily.
But, of course, our NRA friends have this slippery slope concept that
anything we do, even banning cop killer bullets, goes too far because
of the next step and the next step and the next step.
These commonsense reforms will save the lives of law enforcement
officers and innocent Americans across the country. The Speaker said
that we are going to bring additional community safety legislation to
the floor to support our police because as much as the Republicans
would like to say we Democrats are for defunding the police, it is
absolutely incorrect and false, and they know it.
[[Page H7524]]
Why do they know it? Because we bring appropriation bills to this
floor which fund the police, not only at the national level but at the
State and local level as well, which gives lie to that assertion.
Are there some people who used that comment? Look in the mirror,
folks. There are some people on your side of the aisle who say absurd
things.
There are many people on both sides of the aisle who say, ``Let's
support and protect police.'' This is a way to do it. Today, we have an
opportunity to put votes behind our words and show who is ready to do
exactly that.
Now, I hope my Republican friends and Democratic friends and my
fellow Americans will listen to the quote that I am about to give from
a President that used to be revered on the Republican side of the aisle
but is now not looked at as such a reverential figure.
Ronald Reagan said this: ``Listen to the American public and to the
law enforcement community and support a ban on the further manufacture
of these weapons.''
A moment of silence is not enough. I should have counted how many
moments of silence we have had on this floor this year and lamented the
loss of children and the elderly and everybody in between because of a
weapon that is designed to kill a lot of people quickly.
No more moments of silence. Let's act. Vote ``yes.'' Pass this bill.
Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
We haven't said the Second Amendment was unlimited. We quoted the
Second Amendment, the Second Amendment which the Supreme Court has said
protects firearms in common use. Twenty-four million Americans have
these weapons. That is most certainly common use.
The fact that the chair of the Judiciary Committee says, I don't
care, we are going to do it even though we know it is unconstitutional,
that is just wrong.
Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Texas (Mr.
Arrington), my friend.
Mr. ARRINGTON. Too often, Mr. Speaker, we skip over the fundamental
principle and precept and driver of the Second Amendment, so let's
reaffirm our faith here.
Our Founders were determined to fight against their own government
for our freedom and independence. They stated unequivocally that when
there was a train of abuses and usurpations, and the citizens were
reduced to absolute despotism, it was our right and our duty to throw
off that government.
We wouldn't have these United States, we wouldn't be here today,
without this sacred Second Amendment. Every law-abiding citizen in
America must be able to meet evil with equal or greater force, whether
it is a violent criminal, a crazed killer, or a coercive government.
Mr. Speaker, we must reject this attempt to trample the Constitution,
to violate the spirit of what those Founders wrote into that sacred
document, and disarm our citizens.
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
The previous speaker on the Republican side said that citizens must
be able to meet the government with equal arms. The United States
Government has hydrogen bombs. Does he think that every citizen ought
to have a hydrogen bomb?
Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished gentleman from
Rhode Island (Mr. Langevin).
{time} 1715
Mr. LANGEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I know the damage that guns can cause
firsthand. When I was 16, an accidental gunshot severed my spinal cord
and left me paralyzed.
And yet, the damage caused by that gun pales in comparison to the
destruction caused by assault weapons, whose sole purpose is to inflict
maximum damage on their targets.
No one needs an assault weapon to go deer hunting.
No one needs an assault weapon to defend their home.
These weapons of war simply have no place on our streets.
After all, it is no coincidence that assault weapons were the firearm
of choice for the killers in Uvalde, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Parkland,
Orlando, Sandy Hook, and the list goes on.
I ask my colleagues, does this body have the courage to stop the next
massacre from taking place?
Or will we shirk from our responsibilities and our duty to act,
content to simply offer thoughts and prayers while Americans, and even
small children, are mowed down in our schools, grocery stores, and
places of worship?
I know which side I am on. I hope my colleagues will join me.
I thank Congressman Cicilline for his steadfast work on bringing this
legislation to the floor.
Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished
gentlewoman from Illinois (Ms. Schakowsky).
Ms. SCHAKOWSKY. Mr. Speaker, I rise in strong support of the assault
weapons ban.
I live very close to Highland Park, Illinois, and I have heard from
literally hundreds of people and met with hundreds of people--students,
teachers, parents, small businessowners, and, yes, even law enforcement
officials--who demand that we pass an assault weapons ban.
Today's vote would not be possible without the fearless and tireless
work of advocates and survivors. This day is for them. I think that
there is no rational reason that we would allow these weapons of mass
destruction that ravage our families, our communities, and even our way
of life to be on the streets of our country.
Mr. Speaker, I urge a ``yes'' vote to ban assault weapons.
Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished
gentlewoman from Ohio (Ms. Kaptur).
Ms. KAPTUR. Mr. Speaker, Americans want their freedom back, and I
would say to my colleague from Ohio (Mr. Jordan), your freedom stops
where mine and that of my constituents begin.
Schools, shopping malls, grocery stores, and Independence Day parades
shouldn't be scenes of mass carnage and bloodshed. Weapons of war have
no place on the streets of America.
An experienced Ohio sheriff says it well: Assault weapons and large-
capacity magazines should only be utilized by the military and law
enforcement. A proposal to ban their use is common sense, supported by
a majority of Americans. Until such time that Members of Congress start
to care about the safety of children in our schools more than their
next reelection, mass shootings will continue to occur, and innocent
people will die.
One of the most experienced chiefs of police I represent says the
following: The connection between guns and illicit drugs is 100
percent.
So let's take the two most important steps, remove large-capacity
assault weapons from our streets and arrest the drug dealers who are
creating death and destruction across our country.
Let's give freedom back to the American people.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair will remind Members to direct
their remarks to the Chair.
Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself such time as I may consume.
I would just say, if the gentlewoman from Ohio wants to come to the
Fourth District of Ohio and debate me on the Second Amendment, I would
welcome her to come to my district anytime she wants to. She can stand
here and lecture all she wants, but I would welcome her to come to my
district. I would be happy to debate her.
My guess is the constituents I get the privilege of representing,
most of them probably agree with me and agree with the United States
Constitution.
Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the distinguished
gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Cohen), a member of the Judiciary
Committee.
Mr. COHEN. Mr. Speaker, this has been an interesting debate.
The cumulative debate from the Republican side has been Members who
have been wanting to show their intimate knowledge of weapons. It is
almost a fetishism with weapons, something that only Freud would
properly understand and be able to explain to the American people.
They have talked about hands being dangerous and knives being
dangerous,
[[Page H7525]]
but hands and knives and other weapons that they discussed don't kill
people in volume and number like AR-15s do.
The CIA did a study and said that even shots to extremities all made
fatal impacts on people. The AR-15 is an outgrowth of a military weapon
that was designed for military use. The AR-15 is a weapon that destroys
people's bodies and kills them quickly. It should not be allowed in a
civilized, safe society, particularly for children and for people in
the general public.
Mr. Speaker, I urge passage of the bill.
Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, how much time remains on each side?
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from New York has 2 minutes.
The gentleman from Ohio has 45 seconds.
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I am prepared to close, and I reserve the
balance of my time.
Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time to
close.
Mr. Speaker, red flag laws take all guns from some people. This bill
makes illegal some guns for all people, and we know where they want to
go. We know what they want to do. They want to take all guns from all
people because they can't stand the Second Amendment. They hate the
Second Amendment.
In fact, during the markup, the sponsor of the legislation said this:
``Spare me the BS about constitutional rights.''
Well, Republicans care about law-abiding citizens' constitutional
liberties: Their First Amendment rights, their Second Amendment rights,
their Fourth Amendment due process rights. All of those have been
attacked by the Democrats over the last several months.
That is why we should vote ``no'' on this legislation and let law-
abiding Americans have the respect for the Second Amendment they
deserve.
Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time to
close.
Mr. Speaker, it is no surprise that assault weapons are the weapon of
choice for mass shooters and those who target law enforcement. They are
designed for ruthless efficiency, killing the most people in the
shortest amount of time.
The gentleman from Ohio is right, I did say in the committee, ``Spare
us the BS.'' I meant the Republican BS about the Constitution, about
the Second Amendment.
The Second Amendment is designed not to allow people to fight the
government.
Do they want to take up arms against American troops? Is that what
they say?
That is what they say. You saw what that did with the insurrection we
had recently, and that was a mild case.
No, the Second Amendment is designed to allow for a well-regulated
militia, which is to say in our day the National Guard.
The assault weapons ban would take the weapons of war off our streets
and save countless lives, and that is why it is supported by all
associations of police, the American Federation of Teachers, the
American College of Physicians, the American Public Health Association,
the National Alliance to End Sexual Violence, the National Organization
of Black Law Enforcement Executives, the Major Cities Chiefs
Association. They know what they are doing.
The assault weapons ban would take these weapons of war off our
streets. It would prevent more of the Uvaldes, more of the Parklands,
more of the Tree of Life synagogues.
Mr. Speaker, I urge all Members to support this important
legislation, and I yield back the balance of my time.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. All time for debate has expired.
Pursuant to House Resolution 1302, the previous question is ordered
on the bill, as amended.
The question is on the engrossment and third reading of the bill.
The bill was ordered to be engrossed and read a third time, and was
read the third time.
Motion to Recommit
Mr. FITZGERALD. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at the desk.
The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion to
recommit.
The Clerk read as follows:
Mr. Fitzgerald of Wisconsin moves to recommit the bill H.R.
1808 to the Committee on the Judiciary.
The material previously referred to by Mr. Fitzgerald is as follows:
In subsection (v)(4) of section 922 of title 18, United
States Code, as proposed to be inserted by section 3(a)(1) of
the bill, (1) strike ``or'' at the end of subparagraph (D),
strike the period at the end of subparagraph (E) and insert
``; or'', and add at the end the following:
``(F) the possession, by an individual who is a member of
the Armed Forces on active duty or a veteran.''.
In subsection (t)(1) of section 922 of title 18, United
States Code, as proposed to be inserted by 5(a)(4) of the
bill, insert ``(other than an individual who is a member of
