Law-Enforcement Innovate to De-Escalate ActOPPOSE
“Mrs. McBATH. Mr. Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time. Mr. Speaker, H.R. 2189 does nothing to help law enforcement, who already uses these weapons in all 50 States. It does not provide any new tools or training that would reduce police shootings or promote the safety of officers or the public. Instead, it makes dangerous weapons widely available to everyone, including those who should not have them. It allows those weapons to be untraceable, undetectable by equipment, and sold to anyone without a background check.”

HALT Fentanyl ActOPPOSE
“This is a historic moment, Mr. Speaker. House Republicans are delivering on a promise to stop the flow of deadly fentanyl that, for years, has been flooding our communities and, tragically, tearing families apart. Today, drug overdose is the leading cause of accidental death across the country, and fentanyl-driven overdoses are the leading cause of death for American adults between 18 and 45 years of age. That is because it is cheap to make, easy to transport, and so potent. Just a few milligrams can be lethal.”

Law-Enforcement Innovate to De-Escalate ActOPPOSE
“I will spend the time I have remaining responding to a few points made by my colleagues. First of all, the U.S. States and territories already criminalize the misuse of less-lethal devices through existing assault and battery laws, and 34 States also restrict possession by violent felons and domestic abusers. Let me repeat that. It is illegal for violent felons and domestic abusers to own or misuse less-lethal devices. Mr. Speaker, our bill does not change that.”
