                             NO FLY, NO BUY

  (Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York asked and was given permission 
to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her 
remarks.)
  Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I am privileged to 
represent a diverse district in New York, a State whose ban on assault 
weapons was just upheld by the Supreme Court, and a State which just 
closed, on the State level, the senseless loopholes in our Federal gun 
purchasing regulations that allow known criminals and domestic abusers 
to obtain guns.
  But one group of people New York's gun safety laws cannot reach are 
terrorist suspects. That is because the Federal Government controls the 
terrorism watch list. So it is up to Congress to make sure we keep guns 
out of the hands of known terrorists. And the vast majority of 
Americans agree, so we must act.
  Mr. Speaker, this body has no more important mandate than to ensure 
the safety of our citizens. We must pass no fly, no buy, and we must 
pass comprehensive background checks to close the loopholes for those 
that are trying to purchase guns, and we need to act now. Enough is 
enough.
