                             M-855 AMMO BAN

  (Mr. AUSTIN SCOTT of Georgia asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. AUSTIN SCOTT of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to stand up 
for the rights of law-abiding Americans to protect their homes, and I 
am standing in opposition to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms 
and Explosives' unreasonable proposal to ban entire classes of 
ammunition.
  As an American, I personally use this ammunition to defend my home 
and my family, and that is my constitutional right. I find it ironic 
that the President of the United States continues to say, well, if we 
would just arm the people of other countries, then ISIS wouldn't exist, 
while he uses each and every means possible to violate our Second 
Amendment right to protect ourselves.
  Mr. Speaker, I appreciate the opportunity to set the record straight, 
and I look forward to meeting with the ATF and discussing their budget 
and making sure that they don't have the legal authority or the funding 
to take away Americans' constitutional rights to keep and bear arms and 
ammo.
