So I just have to say sincerely. I would really ask the chairman to reconsider his opposition to this amendment. I think fairminded people that know why this Federal law was passed know that it was not meant for Border Patrol agents or any Federal agents that are required to carry a firearm. to use this law against those agents. And if you can do it to Border Patrol agents. you can do it to FBI agents. you can do it to everybody. Now. let me just say something about the unique situation that we are seeing down at the border. At this location. Mr. Chairman. within the month of this incident you had Border Patrol agents under fire by automatic gunfire. AK47s firing at our agents from across the border. There was good reason to think that our agents might have been a little more active with their guns than we might have preferred.
