 Here are the gun bills stalled in Congress

Tuesday’s massacre at a Texas elementary school in which a gunman killed 19 children and 2 adults reignited calls to pass gun control legislation that has been stalled in Congress, in some cases for decades.

Numerous Democrats urged the Senate to act on stalled House-passed legislation, or for Congress to bring up other gun control measures. No major gun legislation has been approved by Congress in more than a decade, despite widespread calls to do so after mass shootings.

Two major control measures were passed by the House last year: The ​​Enhanced Background Checks Act of 2021 and the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2021. Both measures stalled in the Senate.

After the massacre on Tuesday, Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) initiated a process to fast-track both bills onto the Senate’s legislative calendar. But that does not guarantee that either bill will receive a vote in the Senate, and Schumer on the floor Wednesday indicated that he would not immediately bring gun-control bills to the floor.

Enacting any bill will be tough. The evenly-split, 50-50 Senate requires support from at least 10 Republicans to overcome a filibuster, and Republicans have not shown support to implement new limits on the sale or ownership of firearms.

“This is a people problem, it’s not a gun problem,” Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) told reporters Tuesday night.

If they would enforce the laws already on the books there would be no need for new laws. Criminals don't abide by the law. They need to pass a law to make mass murder illegal.

Schumer croons, don't worry, relax, nothing to worry about, translation Upchuck intends a brutal sucker punch then laugh at how many people he mad fools of.  Then he beams with pride before the cameras.

If they were really interested in "gun control" they could immediately go roust the homes of every know felon and parolee in every major city of this country.  They could do that right now without enacting one bit of new legislation, and doing so would likely take a huge number of criminals off the streets and pretty much solve the crime wave.  Why doesn't it happen? Simply because all of these parolees and felons (along with their families and tribes) vote Democrat, that is why.

Take control of the narrative and change the solution from gun control to fixing why our children choose murder.
