i think it's really important in the wake of sutherland springs for us to get this bill passed. this is the bill i filed after those terrible shootings in sutherland springs that resulted in the loss of 26 innocent lives , with about that same number injured as well. this tragedy was entirely preventable because the individual who committed that heinous act on that day was legally disqualified from purchasing a firearm by the fact he was a convicted felon, he had been convicted of domestic violence, and he had been committed to a mental health institution, but none of that information was uploaded by the air force into the national instant criminal background check system. so what did he do when he went in to buy firearms? he simply lied and said that he had no disqualifying event in his life like those i mentioned earlier -- convicted felon, mental health institutionalization, domestic violence conviction. so he simply lied about it, and the background check system failed us and the people who were victims that terrible day in sutherland springs. so we need to get that fixed. t

when a man opened fire at a purse at sutherland springs, texas. with multiple convictions for domestic violence, a felony conviction and a history of mental illness, this individual should never have been able to legally purchase a firearm. because under existing law, those conditions disqualify you from being able to purchase a firearm. if you're a convicted felon, you're convicted of domestic violence or have a history of mental illness. that's why following this terrible disaster where 26 people were killed, i introduced the bipartisan fix nics act. that's fix the national instant criminal background check act, to ensure that existing laws are enforced and convicted felons don't exploit our background check system by lying and buying. i'm going to continue to urge the passage of this important piece of legislation which is, as i say, bipartisan, as it should be. the fall of 2017 gave way to winter and soon came the flurries of snow, not only here in washington but back home in texas. the week before christmas, we completed comprehensive tax ref
