Greg Landsman Democrat
“I oppose this bill. It stops credit card companies from tracking gun sales, which makes it harder to stop gun violence.”
“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in opposition to H.R. 1181, which is in this Rules package. I want to talk about the bill because it is going to make it harder for us to fight gun violence in America. The majority is bringing to the floor a bill that would prevent credit card companies from coding the sale of firearms, meaning that if you buy a firearm from a gun manufacturer, from a gun seller, this Congress is saying we don’t want to track that, we don’t want to code it. We code everything, but we are not going to code this. It makes it even harder for us to fight gun violence in America. Some headlines from home: ``18-year-old dies after shooting near Westwood store.’’ ``Cincinnati Police Department investigating after shooting in Avondale.’’ ``1 shot in East Price Hill, search underway for suspect.’’ ``No arrests made after 3 weekend shootings in Greater Cincinnati.’’ These are all headlines from this weekend. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Ciscomani). The time of the gentleman has expired.”
