On Wednesday, for the first time in a generation, the U.S. House is poised to pass new gun control legislation.
That a pair of new bills are even getting a vote reflects a confluence of events, including a newly empowered House Democratic majority, the apparently diminishing clout of the National Rifle Association, and the activism of a generation of young Americans following years of deadly school shootings.
Democratic leaders say they have the votes to pass a bill requiring background checks on all commercial gun sales, including those at gun shows and over the internet. The bill also has five Republican co-sponsors, led by New York Rep. Peter King, who had tried and failed for several years to advance the bill while his party controlled the chamber.
Democrats taking control of the House has really given it momentum. Hate to admit that, but thats the reality, King said in an interview with NBC News.

Wow! When it passes the House, it automatically becomes law...right?
NBC News knows a lot about "diminishing clout."
But if it goes that far,
2. Good luck getting it past our President.
but if it goes that far,
3. Good luck enforcing it.
YEP!
The D controlled senate will send it to obama who will sign it!
SMH
gotta love the msm
Tell them to stick it where the sun don’t shine and PULL THE TRIGGER!..................
DOA in the Senate.
Yep. Sandy Ocasio is the boss, now.
“Wow! When it passes the House, it automatically becomes law...right?”
Thus spake Mad Maxine and AOC !
Wow is NBC overplaying this bit of Democrat kabuki theater.
“Democrats taking control of the House has really given it momentum. Hate to admit that, but thats the reality, King said in an interview with NBC News.”
Please allow me to translate for the New York Rep.:
IT WAS A REALLY BIG CHECK!
House can pass 1000 things...not going anyplace beyond that
I’ve seen the author, Heidi Przybyla, several times on MSNBC. She’s definitely partisan. Soviet-style partisan.
All commercial gun sales already require a background check.
So it got the votes of Democrats and RINOs.
It will never make to the Senate floor and Democrats need 60 votes to get it to pass.
Good luck with it.
Only when AOC signs it.
Heidi whatever and NBC sounds to be tickled to death but there’s more to passing a bill than just the House.
BLOAT
+ get every piece of hardware you ever wanted.
Pelosi will soon be gun salesman of the year.
BINGO!
