[Congressional Record Volume 162, Number 107 (Tuesday, July 5, 2016)] [House] [Page H4205] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] REJECT THE GUN LOBBY BILL (Ms. KELLY of Illinois asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute.) Ms. KELLY of Illinois. Mr. Speaker, it is sad that it took a 26-hour sit-in of 177 Members just to get a vote on one gun violence prevention bill this Congress. It is even sadder that Speaker Ryan still doesn't get it. This week, we are voting on a big gun lobby bill that already failed in the Senate. It would give the Attorney General only 72 hours to determine if someone on the no-fly list should be able to purchase a gun. House rules require 3 days between a bill's introduction and a vote. Why does Speaker Ryan think that the House deserves 3 days to read a bill, but the FBI, Attorney General, and our courts should fully investigate a suspected terrorist in the same amount of time? This isn't an attempt to address gun violence. It is a shameful attempt to claim that a vote was held, without hurting the majority's precious scorecard rating with the big gun lobby. This isn't a game. With each passing hour, another family mourns the loss of a loved one. I urge my colleagues to reject the gun lobby bill. I call on you, Speaker Ryan, to have the courage to call up H.R. 1217, the bipartisan King-Thompson background check bill, a real gun violence prevention measure. ____________________
