Democratic Congress Member Garcia

The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed and neither shall it be taxed. Chief Justice John Marshall in 1819 declared that the power to tax includes the power to destroy. If you can tax it, then you can destroy it. You can raise the tax so high that almost no one can afford it, and then you really don't have a right at all.

But the Second Amendment is an unalienable constitutional right, God-given, that governments are required to protect, not to tax. The Supreme Court in the Heller decision of 2008 declared the Second Amendment to be an individual constitutional right, further protecting it from taxation, just like the right to speak and the right to vote.

This bill simply restores that right from over 90 years of draconian tax. My Democrat colleagues have asked, how did this get in the bill? What was the deal and who asked for it? No deal. I believe the speaker with the purest of motives simply wanted to restore a constitutional right. And who asked? Me, I asked. I yield.

Speaker, perhaps it's because it's now past 4 a.m., but I feel like I've entered the Twilight Zone. We have 13.7 million Americans, at least, who are going to lose their health insurance because of this bill. Another $500 billion worth of cuts to Medicare on top of that. And what is one of their last speakers talking about? A tax cut if you buy silencers. This is bizarre.

The reality is millions and millions of Americans are going to lose their health coverage, all to help subsidize tax cuts for billionaires, oh yes, and also tax cuts for those who buy gun silencers.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Democrat leader is mistaken. We aren't currently in the dead of night. We are voting for the one big, beautiful bill. House will be in order. We are voting for the one big beautiful bill first thing in the morning because the relief for working families simply can't wait and will work until the job's done.

In this, you are to direct your comments to the chair.
