Madame Speaker, This legislation seems common-sense enough to me. I move for unanimous consent. I yield. |

Madame Speaker, I'm simply curious: if this bill's primary function is to make it illegal to ship firearms if the acquisition of said firearms would be illegal, then what exactly does this bill change? I'm not going to object to unanimous consent right now because I don't want to hold up the process if I'm simply misinformed or misunderstanding the situation, but I am somewhat confounded by the question of what this bill truly changes and I hope that one of the fine and intelligent members of this House can help me. I yield. |

Madam Speaker I object to UC. This Bill is not necessary. Offenses such as "being an accessory" already cover the envisaged circumstances. I yield. |

Mme. Speaker This bill is ridiculous, it is so very redundant, that the very fact we are discussing it makes this body seem like a group of buffoons. I yield. |

Madame Speaker, This bill is nothing but a waste of time, it does absolutely nothing if we pass this bill nothing will be changed. I wonder what the author of this bill was thinking when they wrote it. I yield |

Mme. Speaker As our objections have been noted, and they are indeed merit worthy, I motion to table this redundant and silly legislation. I yield. |

Nay to table Madam Speaker, After carping on and on about majority motions to table, the Minority's motion here reeks of the hypocrisy of the embittered. I yield. |

Speaker of the House Heather Holson hands the gavel to House Majority Leader Kilinger and takes the floor. Madame Speaker, I vote Nay on the motion to table this legislation. I also rise on this occasion to point out the utter hypocrisy of my colleagues across the aisle. Not a month ago they seized pitchforks and torches and attempted to paint the Democratic Party into a corner by saying that we opposed democracy by motioning to table a piece of legislation. But behold that same motion offered by my colleagues across the aisle is virtuous and democracy at its finest. And Madame Speaker do you know what this legislation does? it increases the penalties for those who violate the law by trafficking illegal weapons and providing them to criminals. What a heinous bill this must be to prevent murderers and thieves from acquiring guns. As a gun owner I applaud this legislation because it will help keep guns in the hands of those who need them and out of the hands of those who don't. And I would say that I am surprised by the hypocrisy of some across the aisle but I am not. I yield this floor in disgust and dismay. Speaker Holson ascend to the rostrum and retakes the gavel |

Mme. Speaker Perhaps my Democratic colleagues forgot to read the transcript of the debate when we harped on the motion to table being brought up without debate. I'm sure if you take a moment and read the transcript the Republican party has noted why we think this legislation should be tabled, we have brought forth our points. Again I suggest that my colleague from Georgia and my fellow colleague from Iowa go back and look at the transcripts. You know Abe Lincoln once said, "It is better to be silent and thought a fool, than to speak and remove all doubt." I suggest some of my fellow colleagues take his advice. I yield. |

Madame Speaker, The supporters of this joke of a bill have not said why they they support it, the gentleman from California asked a very valid question they have not answered it. I will ask once against what does this bill accomplish? If the Democrats can't or won't answer questions and say why they support it then why waste our time on it? |
