"I strongly oppose the gun control bills brought forward this week under the guise of background checks. Republicans identified many problems with this bill and the Democrat majority shut out almost every one of our solutions."

"Under this bill, a woman might have to wait 20 business days to get a gun to protect herself from domestic violence if the NICS system isn't working. If she borrows a firearm for self-defense, the friend who loans her a gun would face a year in prison and up to a $100,000 fine."

"Democrats say there is an exemption for hunting in the bill, but it's written so vaguely that if you want to loan your gun to a hunting buddy, you might need to bring along your attorney to find out if loaning a shotgun to your friend makes you a criminal."

"Every day in this country guns are used by good people to defend themselves against bad people and H.R. 8 is going to make it harder for them to get access to these guns. This is a bad gun control bill that does nothing but criminalize law-abiding citizens."
