These are supposed to be used for crowd control. but they can kill. they can maim. they can injure. and young children have been hit with these and have found it to be fatal. My experience there moved me to introduce H.R. 1075. to ban the use of plastic bullets in the north of Ireland. As we celebrate St. Patricks Day. let us not forget the hardworking Irish immigrants that built the Delaware and Raritan Canal located in my State of New Jersey. State Senator Dick Codeyhas introduced a resolution asking the State to appropriate $50.000 to help build the monument to these great workers. Today. the canal supplies water to 1.2 million residents in central New Jersey.
