BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, President Obama is at it again. He is now seeking to deny millions of law-abiding Americans their Second Amendment right to bear arms by going through Social Security.

And why is that? Because he couldn't get gun control through the Congress. The American people wouldn't stand for it.

Mr. Speaker, old age or a disability does not make someone a threat to society. These folks should be able to defend themselves, just like everyone else.

As chairman of the Social Security Subcommittee and a staunch defender of the Second Amendment, I will do everything in my power to stop this gun grab. Yesterday I ordered the Commissioner of Social Security to stand down and abandon any such plan.

Mark my words: Americans' Second Amendment rights must and will be protected.
