Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Van Duyne).

Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, the previous speaker talked about Chicago's strictest gun laws in the country, but yet there was a record number of shootings and crime last year. What could be the cause of that? Maybe it is the fact they defunded their police, something we have talked about now, well, since the Democrats started doing it. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Grothman).

Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. In closing, we can say we are opposed to the en bloc amendments for all of the reasons we have cited now in the last hour and a half on this legislation. Mr. Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Budd).

Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Murphy).

Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield the gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Murphy) an additional 30 seconds.

Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I have a motion to recommit at the desk.

Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.

Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2\1/2\ minutes to the distinguished gentleman from Kentucky (Mr. Massie), the co-chair of the Second Amendment Caucus.

Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, no, it doesn't. The previous speaker said when this bill becomes law, it will stop some of the mass shootings-- all of the mass shootings that happen in this country. No, it won't. Nothing in this bill would prohibit, would have stopped any of those terrible things that took place. What this bill does is stop law-abiding citizens from exercising their Second Amendment liberties, just as the gentleman from Kentucky mentioned a few minutes ago. Mr. Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentlewoman from Indiana (Mrs. Spartz).

Mr. JORDAN

Mr. JORDAN. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Minnesota (Mr. Stauber).

Mr. JORDAN. Madam Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. I oppose both bills and the amendments for all the reasons we have stated today. I think my colleague from Pennsylvania said it best. We are now going to have to wait 10 days to exercise your Second Amendment rights. One of the previous speakers, Madam Speaker, on the Democrat side said that felons don't get guns. They are felons. They are not going to follow the law. We all know what this is. This is going to make it more difficult for law-abiding Americans to exercise a fundamental liberty guaranteed in the United States Constitution, the second right they have, the Second Amendment to the Constitution. It is going to make it more difficult for them to exercise their fundamental liberty. That is what this is about. The FBI had 2 months in the Charleston situation to get it right. They couldn't. Somehow we think now extending it from 3 days to 10 days, a system that messed up as much as it has, somehow that is going to help, and then shifting the burden so that if this system that has falsely denied people their right to purchase a firearm, time and time again, if the system does it again, the burden is on you. Since when do we ever do that? When are you presumed guilty by the government? Only now. Only now are you presumed guilty. You are not going to be able to exercise your rights. Those are our concerns with both of these bills and the amendments that are in front of us today. Madam Speaker, I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. JORDAN. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Higgins).

Mr. JORDAN. Madam Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Perry).
