                    NO GUNS FOR SUSPECTED TERRORISTS

  (Mrs. BEATTY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mrs. BEATTY. Mr. Speaker, I come here today to speak about weapons of 
murder and terror.
  Mr. Speaker, suspected terrorists should not be able to walk into a 
gun store and come out with weapons of murder and terror.
  As Members of Congress, we have an obligation to keep American 
families safe. To not bring the bipartisan bill, H.R. 1076, to the 
floor for a vote is to deny us the opportunity to keep our families 
safer.
  This bill, H.R. 1076, is sensible and straightforward. If you are a 
suspected terrorist, you should not be able to buy a gun. If you are a 
suspected terrorist, you should not, Mr. Speaker, be able to buy a gun. 
I will say it today and tomorrow and repeatedly: if you are a suspected 
terrorist, you should not be able to buy a gun. We should not have guns 
and weapons of murder and terror.
  I will no longer be silent. Mr. Speaker, we should no longer be 
silent. Let's transcend partisan politics and uphold our promise to 
keep American families safe.
