Landsman focuses on gun violence, opposing Republican legislation he argues would weaken efforts to track firearm sales, and he grounds the argument in local headlines from his Cincinnati-area district. He attacks the majority’s position sharply but by policy rather than personally, framing it as choosing ‘gun manufacturers’ over ‘law enforcement’ and ‘our kids.’ With only two statements, his pattern is visible mainly here: he states his conclusion plainly (‘it is going to make it harder for us to fight gun violence in America’) and leans on rhetorical questions and local news evidence rather than detailed statistics or answers to opposing arguments.Written by AI from their statements.

“This is a terrible bill. It protects gun makers and sellers instead of protecting police and children from gun violence.”
Official Congressional Record

Mr. Speaker, the question then becomes: Why are they siding with gun manufacturers and not law enforcement? Why are they siding with the gun sellers and not our kids? It is a terrible bill based on a flawed ideology that somehow if you sell a gun, you are more important than the people who get shot by one.

“I oppose this bill. It stops credit card companies from tracking gun sales, which makes it harder to stop gun violence.”

Official Congressional Record

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.
