Will the Gun control bill affect you?
House of Representatives passes universal background check bill for all gun sales.
The largest gun control bill in 25 years that would require universal background checks for nearly all gun sales.
Democrats maintain that the bill will save lives.
“For six-and-a-half years, we had no cooperation from the past [House] majority” said Democratic Rep. Mike Thompson. “We couldn’t get a hearing on the bill. We couldn’t get a vote. Today, we’re here to tell you it’s a new day. With this majority, we have made a commitment to address the issue of gun violence.”
While the Democrats like House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi are claiming the bill’s passage is a “historic victory,” the bill likely won’t overcome the hurdle of the Republican-controlled Senate or the veto power of President Donald Trump.
What possible reason could there be for being against background checks?
