,national ,guard forces are sustained by a fully manned and fully funded force and that the ,united ,states fulfill its longstanding commitment to unyielding readiness in terms of defense2 7#b7 the

and bear arms shall not be infringed4 7#b7 ,approximately #dj1jjj servicemen and women across all branches of the ,armed ,forces either live in or are stationed on active duty within the ,washington1 ,d4,c41 metropolitan area4 ,unless these individuals are granted a waiver as serving in a law enforcement role1 they are subject to the ,district of ,columbia's onerous and highly restrictive laws on the possession of firearms4 7#c7 ,military personnel1 despite being extensively trained in the proper and safe use of firearms1 are therefore deprived by the laws of the ,district of ,columbia of handguns1 rifles1 and shotguns that are commonly kept by law-abiding persons throughout the ,united ,states for sporting use and for lawful defense of their persons1 homes1 businesses1 and families4 7#d7 ,the ,district of ,columbia has one of the highest per capita murder rates in the ,nation1 which may be attributed in part to previous local laws prohibiting possession of firearms by law-abiding persons who would have otherwise been able to defend themselves and their loved ones in their own homes and businesses4 7#e7 ,the ,gun ,control ,act of #aifh 7as amended by the ,firearms ,owners' ,protection ,act7 and the ,brady ,handgun ,violence ,prevention ,act provide comprehensive ,federal regulations applicable in the ,district of ,columbia as elsewhere4 ,in addition1 existing ,district of ,columbia criminal laws punish possession and illegal use of firearms by violent criminals and felons4 ,consequently1 there is no need for local laws that only affect and disarm law-abiding citizens4 7#f7 ,on ,june #bf1 #bjjh1 the ,supreme ,court of the ,united ,states in the case of ,district of ,columbia v4 ,heller held that the ,second ,amendment protects an individual's right to possess a firearm for traditionally lawful purposes1 and thus ruled that the ,district of ,columbia's handgun ban and requirements that rifles and shotguns in the home be kept unloaded and disassembled or outfitted with a trigger lock to be unconstitutional4 7#g7 ,on ,july #af1 #bjjh1 the ,district of ,columbia enacted the ,firearms ,control ,emergency ,amendment ,act of #bjjh 7,d4,c4 ,act #ag-dbb2 #ee ,,dcr #hbcg71 which places onerous restrictions on the ability of law-abiding citizens from possessing firearms1 thus violating the spirit by which the ,supreme ,court of the ,united

#afj1 the ,district of ,columbia ,house ,voting ,rights ,act of #bjji1 which would fully restore ,second ,amendment rights to the citizens of the ,district of ,columbia4 7b7 ,sense of ,congress ,it is the sense of ,congress that active duty military personnel who are stationed or residing in the ,district of ,columbia should be permitted to exercise fully their rights under the ,second ,amendment to the ,constitution of the ,united ,states and therefore should be exempt from the ,district of ,columbia's restrictions on the possession of firearms4 ,,xi ,civilian ,personnel ,matters #aaja4

following3 7#a7 ,in response to ,u4,s4 ,central ,command requirements1 the ,united ,states ,navy has maintained1 on average1 more than one aircraft carrier in the ,arabian ,gulf for more than five years4 7#b7 ,in ,february #bjac1 the senior leadership of the ,department of ,defense elected to reduce the number of aircraft carriers deployed to the ,arabian ,gulf in light of budget constraints and limitation of the overall carrier force structure to support the two aircraft carrier requirement4 7#c7 ,in reference to the decision to indefinitely delay the deployment of the ,,uss ,harry ,truman1 ,,cvn #ge1 and the ,,uss ,gettysburg1 its cruiser escort1 ,chairman of the ,joint ,chiefs1 ,general ,martin ,dempsey stated1 ,we're trying to stretch our readiness out by keeping this particular carrier in homeport in our global response force1 so if something happens elsewhere in the world1 we can respond to it4 ,had we deployed it and consumed that readiness1 we could have created a situation where downstream we wouldn't have a carrier present in certain parts of the world at all44 7#d7 ,highlighting the risks of having only one aircraft carrier in the region and relying on land-based aircraft1 ,general ,dempsey stated1 ,when you have carrier-based aircraft1 you have complete autonomy and control over when you use them4 ,when you use land-based aircraft1 you often have to have host-nation permission to use them44 7#e7 ,addressing the perception of the ,united ,states commitment to the region1 ,general ,james ,mattis1 ,commander of ,u4,s4 ,central ,command1 testified in ,march #bjac1 ,perhaps the greatest risk to ,u4,s4 interests in the region is a perceived lack of an enduring ,u4,s4 commitment to collective interests and the security of our regional partners44 ,he went on to testify that1 ,the drawdown of our forces can be misinterpreted as a lack of attention1 a lack of commitment to the region44 7b7 ,sense of congress ,it is the sense of ,congress that-- 7#a7 maintaining only one aircraft carrier battle group in the ,arabian ,gulf constrains ,united ,states' options and could put at risk the ability to have diversified platforms from which to defend the ,arabian ,gulf and1 if necessary1 to conduct military operations to prevent ,iran from threatening the ,united ,states1 ,united ,states allies1 or ,iran's neighbors with nuclear weapons2 7#b7 it is in the interests of the ,united ,states to maintain both land-based and sea-based capabilities in the region to project force2 7#c7 land-based locations in the region could restrict ,united ,states military options and critically impact the operational capability if required to conduct a defense of the ,arabian ,gulf because the ,united ,states has not finalized bilateral security agreements with key ,gulf ,cooperation ,council countries2 7#d7 as a result of these and other critical limitations associated with maintaining one aircraft carrier battle group in the ,arabian ,gulf1 ,united ,states military commanders have expressed concerns about the operational constraints1 the increasing uncertainty among ,united ,states allies1 and the emboldening of potential adversaries such as ,iran2 7#e7 regarding the ability of the ,united ,states ,navy to maintain a two aircraft carrier presence in the ,arabian ,gulf1 the ,chief of ,naval ,operations1 ,admiral ,jonathan ,greenert1 stated1 ,we need #aa carriers to do the job4 ,that's been pretty clearly written1 and that's underwritten in our defense strategic guidance44 7#f7 the ,united ,states should construct and sufficiently sustain a fleet of at least eleven aircraft carriers and associated battle force ships in order to meet current and future requirements and to support at least a two aircraft carrier battle group presence in the ,arabian ,gulf1 in addition to meeting other operational requirements2 and 7#g7 the ,united ,states should finalize bilateral agreements with key ,gulf

stabilizing force following ,,nato-led operations in order to help stabilize the country1 build capacity within the security forces1 and pursue terrorist groups that threaten the local government as well as ,united ,states interests2 7#b7 the attack also highlighted the limitations of the ,united ,states military to alert1 deploy1 and decisively counter a no-notice terrorist attack such as the one in ,benghazi1 or another security contingency1 due to the limitations stemming from ,united ,states military posture in ,africa and the ,middle ,east and when there is a lack of a layered defense at ,united ,states diplomatic facilities2 7#c7 the ,united ,states military is more effectively able to respond to terrorist attacks on ,united ,states facilities outside of the ,united ,states if the responding ,united ,states military assets are forward deployed2 7#d7 when an intelligence threat assessment determines that a ,united ,states facility overseas is vulnerable to attack1 such facility should have robust force protection measures sufficient to safeguard personnel and assets until a ,united ,states military response can arrive2 7#e7 the continually evolving terrorist threat to ,united ,states interests on the ,continent of ,africa and the ,middle ,east necessitates that the ,united ,states military maintains a forward deployed posture in ,europe1 ,middle ,east1 and ,africa in order to be able to respond to terrorist events1 or other security contingencies1 and to effectively evacuate and recover ,united ,states personnel2 7#f7 the ,united ,states military1 in conjunction with the ,department of ,state and the intelligence community1 should continue to evaluate the assumptions underpinning the terrorist threat in order to ensure that it is effectively able to respond globally to future terrorist attacks2 7#g7 the ,united ,states military should regularly re-evaluate the posture and alert status requirements of its crisis response elements in order to be more responsive to the evolving and global nature of the terrorist threat1 and all ,united ,states military crisis response elements should be fully equipped with the required supporting capabilities

abandon its illicit pursuits and comply with ,united ,nations ,security ,council resolutions4 7#bb7 ,more stringent enforcement of sanctions legislation1 including elements targeting oil exports and

special bonds of friendship and cooperation that have existed between the ,united ,states and the ,state of ,israel for more than sixty years and that enjoy overwhelming bipartisan support in ,congress and among the people of the ,united ,states2 7#b7 strongly supports the close military1 intelligence1 and security cooperation that ,president ,obama has pursued with ,israel and urges this

is the sense of ,congress that-- 7#a7 the paramount security concern of the ,united ,states is the ongoing and illegal nuclear weapons programs of the ,islamic ,republic of ,iran and the ,democratic ,people's ,republic of ,korea2 7#b7 it should be the primary objective of the ,president of the ,united ,states to ensure that ,north ,korea's nuclear program is completely and verifiably eliminated and that ,iran1 and its terrorist proxies1 are not allowed to develop nuclear weapons capability and the means to deliver them2 7#c7 the continuing failure to compel ,iran and ,north ,korea to comply with their respective obligations under international law risks greater nuclear proliferation throughout already unstable regions by states that have chosen1 but not irreversibly so1 to refrain from developing or acquiring their own nuclear weapons capability2 7#d7 nuclear arms reductions by the ,united ,states and the ,russian ,federation have not persuaded or otherwise incentivized ,iran and ,north ,korea to halt or reverse their destabilizing and dangerous nuclear weapons programs1 nor have they resulted in increased cooperation by other states to deal with these threats2 and 7#e7 the ,president should use all international fora available to the ,president to pursue the complete and verifiable elimination of the nuclear weapons programs of ,iran and ,north ,korea as the ,president's paramount obligation to the security of the ,american people4 #abgd4 ,limitation on use of funds to purchase equipment from ,rosoboronexport 7a7 ,limitation ,no funds authorized to be
