Stop Atf's Pistol Brace Rule

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. WILLIAMS of Texas. Madam Speaker, I rise today because we are witnessing yet another attack on the Constitution by President Biden.

As of June 1, due to the reclassification of firearms attached with stabilizing braces, millions of law-abiding Americans are at risk of prosecution by the Federal Government at a time in which trust in the justice system is at an all-time low.

There is no evidence that this rule would make Americans safer. In fact, it makes it more difficult to obtain a safety attachment, putting more lives at risk.

Historically, stabilizing braces were designed for disabled veterans, allowing them to safely participate in recreational shooting.

This is not just a threat to our rights but a direct attack on our veterans, who have selflessly put their lives on the line to protect this great country.

We have seen time and time again that, first, they come for your guns, and then, they come for everything else.

I am proud to have cosponsored this legislation to defend our God- given rights.

Under President Biden, Federal agencies such as the ATF have acted as lawmakers through the introduction of new rules and regulations.

Madam Speaker, it is time to rein in the President and bring lawmaking back to the people's House. I urge all of my colleagues to support this important piece of legislation. The future of America depends on you.

In God we trust.
