                    PROUDLY STANDING WITH GUN OWNERS

  (Ms. FOXX asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Ms. FOXX. Madam Speaker, H.R. 8 and H.R. 1446 are attempts by the 
Federal Government to exert more force over law-abiding citizens who 
want to protect themselves and their families.
  Let me remind my Democrat colleagues that the Second Amendment 
explicitly states that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be 
infringed. Maybe they would remember that if they carried a pocket copy 
of the Constitution with them like I do every single day. Apparently 
not.
  I am proud to stand with the millions of gun owners in this great 
country who share an abiding gratitude for the Constitution and the 
Second Amendment itself.
  Make no mistake, these bills are created in bad faith. They are 
partisan shams that rob us of our freedoms.
