South Dakota GOP congressman defends gun owners' rights after Nashville mass shooting.
South Dakota Rep. Dusty Johnson is skeptical that gun legislation will have a tangible impact on curbing mass shootings in America.
Johnson argued that the rights of the many should not be impacted by the wrongs of the few. There are over 24 million assault-style rifles in circulation in the United States, according to the National Shooting Sports Foundation, a firearm industry trade association. Instead of focusing on"three tragic deaths there, 10 tragic deaths there, 20 tragic deaths there" with mass shootings, Johnson pivoted to a discussion of mental health, suicide and substance abuse.
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy has called for negotiations with Mr. Biden on spending cuts in exchange for raising Treasury's borrowing ceiling. The president says this is a non-starter and has urged Republicans in Congress to pass a clean debt ceiling, that is, an increase without any conditions attached.
"The Republicans passing a budget isn't going to help this negotiation ripen," Johnson said."The only thing that will make this thing ripen is getting two guys together at a table."
