I understand the frustration of many who have wanted to deal with amendments to the 1968 firearms bill for some time. I understand their frustrations. and I understand their concerns. In fact. I applaud them for putting pressure so that we are here. I am not one who is adverse to using a discharge petition. I have used a discharge petition before to gain the attention of the House to help move the immigration bill. I have used other procedures to get the omnibus crime Apri 9 1986 bill out here. Yet I have tried to work within my committees when that was possible to bring forward what I consider to be strong lawenforcement legislation.
