Quotes

"Members of my committee on the Republican side, to a person, are totally convinced," Issa said. "Our case right now, we're trying to work with the Democrats on the committee."
In the letter, the House GOP leaders said, "If necessary, the House will act to fulfill our Constitutional obligations in the coming weeks."
"ATF Deputy Director Tom Brandon and other personnel met in person with Rep. Young to respond to his inquiry and appreciated the opportunity to discuss the Federal Firearms Licensee inspection process with the congressman. Mr. Brandon reiterated ATF’s long standing policy (since 1992) about the acceptable manner in which records can be acquired from FFLs as part of a compliance inspection. Mr. Brandon also used the meeting as an opportunity to affirmatively state that ATF has never maintained a database of lawful firearms owners; is not permitted by law to create and maintain such a database; and has no intention whatsoever of collecting any information for such a database. ATF looks forward to working with Rep. Young in the future on matters of mutual concern that affect public safety in Alaska."
