11:33 pm
section 3554 of the title 34, united states code, to provide for enhanced security of federal information systems and for ther purposes. the speaker pro tempore: the ouse will be in order. for what purpose does the gentleman from california seek reck fligs? -- recognition? >> mr. speaker, i have a motion to recommit at the desk. the speaker pro tempore: is the gentleman opposed to the bill? >> i am in its current form. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for five minutes. i'm sorry, the clerk will report the title. the clerk: mr. thompson of california moves to recommit the bill, h.r. 4361 -- the speaker pro tempore: for what purpose does the gentleman from utah seek recognition? mr. chaffetz: mr. speaker, i reserve a point of order on the motion to recommit.
11:34 pm
the speaker pro tempore: point of order is reserved. the clerk will read. the clerk: to the committee on oversight and government reform. with instructions to report the same -- the speaker pro tempore: the clerk will suspend. the gentleman from california. mr. thompson: i request unanimous consent to dispense with the reading. the speaker pro tempore: is there objection? without objection. the motion is considered as read. the gentleman from california is recognized for five minutes. mr. thompson: thank you, mr. speaker. this is the final amendment to the bill and will not kill the bill nor send it back to committee. if adopted, the bill will immediately proceed to final passage as amended. my motion to recommit would incorporate into the underlying legislation h.r. 1076, a bipartisan measure, no fly, no buy. and h.r. 1217, another bipartisan bill to strengthen our background check system for gun sales. these bills are commonsense, they're bipartisan, they respect the second amendment. i'm a gun owner.
11:35 pm
if these bills did anything to violate those rools rights, my name wouldn't be on them. most important, they would help keep guns away from those who shouldn't have them. terrorists, criminals, domestic abusers and the dangerously mentally ill. h.r. 1076 was introduced by our republican colleague, peter king. this bill says that if you're on the f.b.i. terrorist no fly list -- then you don't get to walk into a gun store, pass a background check and leave with a gun or guns of your choosing. there's one thing both sides of the aisle should be able to agree on. keeping guns from suspected terrorists. 181 members of this house have signed the petition to force an up or down vote on the bill. mr. speaker, give us a vote on this legislation. the second bill, h.r. 1217, is a
11:36 pm
bipartisan, pro-second amendment bill that would close dangerous loopholes in our background check system. that allow criminals, domestic abusers and the dangerously mentally ill to bypass the background check and purchase guns online, at gun shows or through classified ads. he bill has 186 bipartisan co-authors. mr. speaker, give us a vote on this legislation. these are the bills the american people want to see enacted into law. 85% of americans favor banning individuals on the no fly list from being able to buy a gun. 90% of americans support strengthening and expanding our background check system. we've been calling for a vote on this bipartisan legislation to reduce gun violence for 3 1/2 years. it was that long ago that 20 elementary school kids and six
11:37 pm
educators were shot to death at sandy hook elementary school in newtown, connecticut. for reasons that i will never understand, that horrific tragedy wasn't enough to convince the republican leadership that something needed to be done to prevent the next tragedy. sadly, in the 3 1/2 years that the republicans have refused to vote on legislation to keep guns out of dangerous hands, our country has lost far too many innocent lives to gun violence. let me give you some numbers. 3 1/2. the number of years it's been since sandy hook. 34,000. the number of people killed by someone with a gun since sandy hook. 1,182. the number of mass shootings since sandy hook. 30. the number of moments of silence since sandy hook. 521. the number of legislative days since sandy hook. and most important, the number zero.
11:38 pm
that's the number of votes we've taken in this house to keep guns out of dangerous hands. that's shameful. congress has a responsibility to take action to keep our communities safe from gun violence. this motion -- with this motion, our republican colleagues have an opportunity to do right here. right now on this bill, vote on this motion to recommit. we are here to represent and to fight for the people we have the privilege to serve. the overwhelming majority of american people want to see their elected representatives take action to help keep guns away from those who shouldn't have them. terrorists, criminals, domestic abusers and the dangerously mentally ill. this debate isn't a choice between respecting the second amendment or reducing gun violence. it's about congress doing both. mr. speaker, it's long past time for the republican leadership to give us a vote on these
11:39 pm
pro-second amendment, pro-gun safety legislation. we can't allow mass gun violence followed by moments of silence and no action to become america's new normal. we can't wait for more innocent lives to be cut short by someone using a gun. we need to pass this motion and help spare families from the pain of losing a loved one to gun violence. give us a vote, pass this bill. i yield back the balance of my ime. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from utah. mr. chaffetz: mr. speaker, i raise a point of order against the motion because the instruction contains a matter in the jurisdiction of a committee to which the resolution was not referred. thus violating clause 7 of rule
11:40 pm
16 which requires an amendment to be germane to the measure mended. the committee of jurisdiction is a central test of germaneness. therefore i must insist on the point of order. the speaker pro tempore: will there any other members that wish to speak on the point of order? if not, the chair is prepared to rule. the gentleman from utah makes a point of order that the instructions proposed in the recommit offered by the gentleman from california are not germane. the bill addresses operational and administrative aspects of federal agencies, including information, technology management, government-wide rulemaking restrictions, and sundry personnel matters. the instructions in the motion to recommit address in part adjudication of veterans under title 38 united states code. among the fundamental principles of the germaneness is that an amendment must confine itself to mats that are fall within the jurisdiction of the committees with jurisdiction over the pending measure. the bill falls within the legislative jurisdiction of the committees on oversight and
11:41 pm
government reform. and the judiciary. the instructions contained in the motion to recommit address subject matter within the legislative jurisdiction of the committee on veterans affairs. the chair -- committee on veterans' affairs. the chair would note that the text contained in the motion to recommit is similar in form to the bill, h.r. 1217, which was referred in addition to the committee on veterans' affairs. by addressing a matter within the jurisdiction of a committee not represented in the bill, the instructions proposed in an amendment that is not germane. the point of order is sustained. the motion is not in order. mr. thompson: mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from california. mr. thompson: mr. speaker. the speaker pro tempore: the .entleman from california mr. thompson: thank you, mr. speaker. i appeal the ruling of the chair. the speaker pro tempore: the question is, shall the decision of the chair stand as the judgment of the house. for what purpose does the gentleman from utah seek recognition? mr. chaffetz: mr. speaker, i
11:42 pm
move to table the appeal of the ruling of the chair. the speaker pro tempore: the question is on the motion to table. those in favor say aye. those opposed, no. the ayes have it. the gentleman from california. mr. thompson: mr. speaker, recordsed vote. the speaker pro tempore: a recorded vote is requested. those in support of the request for a recorded vote will rise and be counted. a sufficient number having arisen, a record vote is ordered. members will record their votes by electronic device. pursuant to clause 9 of rule 20, this 15-minute vote on the motion to table will be followed by a five-minute vote on passage of the bill if arising without further proceedings in recommital. this is a 15-minute vote.
