Dem Lawmakers Self-Destruct on Gun Control, on Verge of Handing Conservatives Huge Victory

Published March 30, 2021 at 9:57am On March 11, the House passed the “Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2021,†otherwise known as HR 8, a bill that would require a background check for every U.S. firearm sale.
Afterward, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer told reporters, “When they sent it over to us last time, it went into [then-Senate Majority Leader] Mitch McConnell’s legislative graveyard. The legislative graveyard is over. HR 8 will be on the floor of the Senate and we will see where everybody stands.
“No more hopes and prayers, thoughts and prayers — a vote is what we need.â€
The New York Democrat’s plan to take up this legislation in the Senate, however, was thwarted last week after three key senators spoke out against it: Democrats Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Jon Tester of Montana and Republican Susan Collins of Maine.
