I figured this would be more for the OB than the poli board tards.


quote:

House Republican leaders called for unity and prayer Tuesday after the deadly mass shooting in Las Vegas, but offered no new legislation to tighten gun laws and said a bill to ease regulations on gun silencers would be shelved indefinitely.

"We are all reeling from this horror in Las Vegas," Speaker Paul Ryan said at a news conference. "This is just awful."

Ryan said there's no plan for the House to act soon on a National Rifle Association-backed bill to ease regulations on gun silencers. A House panel had backed the bill last month and lawmakers were expected to move ahead on the measure.


quote:

Schumer and other Democrats noted that Republicans postponed a hearing on the silencer bill in June when House Majority Whip Steve Scalise and others were shot at a congressional baseball practice.


quote:

"When two mass shootings force you to delay a bill that would make those mass shootings harder to detect and stop, maybe that's a sign you ought to let go of the bill go, once and for all," Schumer said.


Then Hillary comes out right after the shooting and immediately pushes her agenda about the act.

quote:

“Imagine the deaths if the shooter had a silencer, which the NRA wants to make easier to get.”




I'm usually not one to believe in conspiracies, but this is too coincidental. When you have a huge pro gun bill that was backed by the house and expected to move forward gets postponed TWICE because of a mass shootings. Then the liberals go straight to the twitter to push their agenda.

Eh, this was inevitable. I don't think this thing had a chance even if LV didn't happen.

Gotta love the Orwellian names they come up with. Get some earplugs, pussies.

I will never support it because calling it the Hearing Protection Act is fricking dumb. I wish the snakes would just be honest about what all of their bills due. That goes for both sides of the aisle.
