What makes her think any of this will pass the Senate, or even be signed by President Trump?
‘Boldly and Decisively’: Pelosi Promises Swift Action on ‘Commonsense’ Gun Control
Democrats will act “boldly†to bring “commonsense†gun control reforms to the table, Democratic House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi said in a statement.
“The new Democratic majority will act boldly and decisively to pass commonsense, life-saving background checks that are overwhelmingly supported by the American people,†Pelosi said, Politico reported Monday.
With Pelosi’s support, Democrats coalesced to create a gun reform proposal that would require federal background checks on all gun sales, including private sales, Politico reported.
They have this in California. Yet, they still have shootings, lots of them, in uber-Stateist California. This type of bill won’t stop anything. Virtually no shooting occur due to a private transfer with no background check. As Splinter notes
That’s well and good for the House, but given the newly bolstered Republican majority in the Senate, it’s safe to assume that any gun control legislation will be effectively dead on arrival once it reaches the upper chamber, to say nothing of the Trump White House.
Of course, this is just the beginning, and, interestingly, nothing that the Democrats have trotted out or even just thrown against the wall goes after criminals who use gun illegally. Nor criminals who illegally possess guns. Nor criminals. Everything is aimed at law abiding citizens. I’m looking forward to the Dems over-reaching.
