Mr. JORDAN
Mr. JORDAN. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. JORDAN. Madam Speaker, I continue to reserve the balance of my time.
Mr. JORDAN. Madam Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from Florida (Mr. Gaetz).
Mr. JORDAN. Madam Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. Representative Massie was right on target when he said red flag laws take all guns from some people and they do so without due process. This bill takes some guns from all people. But Democrats say, don't worry. We are not out to get the Second Amendment. Really? Here is what Representative Cicilline said in committee last week: Spare me the B.S. about constitutional rights. Here is what Representative Jones said last week in committee: If the filibuster obstructs us, we will abolish it. If the Supreme Court objects, we will expand. We will not rest until we have taken weapons out of circulation in our communities. Each and every day, we will do whatever it takes; whatever it takes. They are out to get the Second Amendment. The right of the American people, the right of we, the people, to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. That is what bothers them. They don't trust we, the people. They are smarter than us. They are better than us. They don't trust law-abiding American citizens. They do not trust them. And that is what is so wrong with the direction we are going with this legislation and the legislation they are going to bring to the floor tomorrow. We have seen they don't trust Americans to exercise their First Amendment liberties. Now they are going after their Second Amendment liberties. And that red flag law they are going to bring up tomorrow goes after the Fifth Amendment due process rights that we enjoy as American citizens. That is why we should oppose this legislation and the legislation tomorrow. And I hope, as my friend from Florida said, I hope the United States Senate doesn't go down this red flag trail that they are now on and further take away liberties from law-abiding American people. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.
