Ira Lacher: “Bump stocks and assault weapons notwithstanding, if we seriously want to reduce the number of gun deaths in this country, we need to have a come-to-Jesus debate about guns. But we’re not seeing that debate.” -promoted by Laura Belin
So, Republicans are finally and grudgingly moving forward on gun control. Consider these headlines:
-
From USA Today: Trump: Congress discussing ‘meaningful’ gun background checks
From Breitbart: Mitch McConnell: ‘Assault Weapons’ Ban ‘Front and Center’ in Senate
From the Washington Times: Trump on gun legislation: ‘Common sense things can be done’
Wow! Guess the public is getting to the president and Congressional Republicans after all. We can breathe easier, now that it seems we’ll be getting some commonsense laws that will at least severely restrict gun violence in America.
Except, no.
