Senate GOP rejects Trump’s call to go big on gun legislation
By Alexander Bolton - 03/01/18 06:00 AM EST

Senate Republicans say President Trump’s comments Wednesday calling for more ambitious gun-control proposals won’t change the political calculus in their conference, which supports a limited response to the shooting at a Florida high school.

Senate Republican Whip John Cornyn (R-Texas), who is leading the GOP response to gun violence in the upper chamber, told reporters after the meeting with Trump at the White House that he still favors a limited approach.

He wants to put a narrow bill on the floor that would give state and local officials more incentive to report relevant information to the National Instant Criminal Background Check System known as NICS.

For once, timid Senate foot dragging might actually help us here.

Let's hope so.  Trump is already hinting he may ban bump stocks via EO...nothing stopping him from going on a twitter rampage about the Senate not doing it's job on gun control and deciding to do it for them via EO as well.

I think the Senate has previously shown us that when it comes to issues harmful to our liberty and just plain stupid - the Senate will always act quickly and decisively to make those law and policy.

Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775
