WASHINGTON — Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21) issued the following statement Tuesday regarding his vote on H.R. 55:
Lynching is an unspeakably heinous crime. But This bill doesn't have anything to do with lynching, other than its name.
It does not make lynching a federal offense. In fact it creates no new federal offenses. It simply raises the punishment for things that are already federal crimes, including those that are unrelated to lynching — such as gender identity — in an effort to advance a woke agenda under the guise of correcting racial injustice.
WASHINGTON — Rep. Roy issued the following statement Thursday:
The attack by Putin on Ukraine is latest in his quest for Russian dominance in the 100th year anniversary of the formation of the Soviet Union, and it has unfortunately been fueled by President Biden's demonstrated weakness on the global stage and the western world's foolish pursuit of fantasy energy policies that have real-world consequences.
WASHINGTON—On Tuesday, Rep. Chip Roy (TX-21), alongside more than twenty colleagues, introduced the No Backdoor Gun Control Act. This legislation would remove "Any Other Weapon" (AOW) from the definition of a firearm under the National Firearms Act (NFA), ensuring that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) could not use the AOW section to violate Americans' Second Amendment rights. This is especially important should legislation that removes short-barreled rifles and short-barreled shotguns (SBRs, SBSs) from the NFA be enacted.

WASHINGTON — On Friday, Rep. Roy (TX-21) introduced the Passport Sanity Act to prevent United States passports from being used to promote radical gender ideology.

Additionally, this legislation would require applications for these documents to include only the gender designations of male or female.
