Schumer implored Republican colleagues to cast aside the gun lobby and reach across the aisle for even a modest compromise bill, begging them 'please damnit - put yourselves in the shoes of these parents just for once' But no votes are being scheduled
The killing of at least 19 children plus a teacher at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, has laid bare the political reality that the U.S. Congress has proven unwilling or unable to pass substantial federal legislation to curb gun violence in America.
Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., delivered a fiery speech on the Senate floor, lambasting colleagues over inaction gun control. “Why do you spend all this time running for the United States Senate...if your answer is, as the slaughter increases, as our kids run for their lives—we do nothing?” Despite mounting mass shootings in communities nationwide — two in the past two weeks alone, including Tuesday in Texas and the racist killing of Black shoppers at a Buffalo, New York, market 10 days earlier — lawmakers have been unwilling to set aside their differences and buck the gun lobby to work out any compromise.
It’s “nuts to do nothing about this,” Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., Giffords’ husband, said Wednesday using an expletive. One known deal-maker, Democratic Sen. Krysten Sinema of Arizona, told reporters Wednesday she'll start having conversations with senators on red flag laws or others. In the House, Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said he would bring a federal red flag bill forward for a vote.
