                               GUN RIGHTS

  (Mr. REHBERG asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. REHBERG. Mr. Speaker, too many people in Washington, D.C. are 
under the dangerous impression that the Second Amendment is obsolete 
and unnecessary. If they had their way, only criminals and agents of 
the State would be armed, while law-abiding Americans would be at their 
mercy.
  While we can stop gun control in Congress, progressives and 
Washington, D.C. bureaucrats will use every tactic at their disposal to 
disarm the American public, including banning firearms on public lands.
  That is why I have sponsored the Firearms Freedom on Federal Lands 
Act with Representatives Rob Bishop and Paul Broun. This legislation 
creates a statutory protection of gun rights, preventing land 
management agencies from restricting firearms on public lands, as they 
have done in the past.
  The NRA has endorsed this measure, and I hope my colleagues will 
follow their lead and cosponsor this legislation.
