               STRIKING DOWN ATF'S UNCONSTITUTIONAL RULE

  (Mr. ROSE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. ROSE. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise in support of legislation I am 
proud to originally cosponsor, H.J. Res. 44, which would strike down 
the ATF's unconstitutional pistol stabilizing rule.
  Time after time, this administration has shown they show little to no 
regard for our God-given rights protected under the U.S. Constitution.

outrageous and draconian regulation that criminalizes firearm ownership 
for millions of law-abiding Americans.
  Under this rule, many of the service-disabled veterans who rely on 
these braces would no longer be able to exercise their Second Amendment 
freedoms and right to self-defense.
  That is why I was proud to be an original cosponsor of this 
legislation and to vote in favor of its passage on the House floor.
  ``Shall not be infringed'' means exactly that. Rest assured, I will 
always stand against efforts like these to diminish our God-given 
Second Amendment rights.
