Madam Speaker, what I am looking for is always results-based. What is going to actually work? What we are doing today is failing right now with the serious crime, the shootings and the deaths of members. What we are doing to battle organized crime and gangs is not working. From my experience, we need to change course. We should be focusing, first, on educational programs for our youth and, second, on enforcement against organized crime and gang activity, which means border crossings with illegal guns. We need to start putting more money into that. Spending a billion dollars on the confiscation of legal guns is absolutely not based on any kind of evidence.
