Complicit Republicans beholden to the NRA won't let it pass.

No chance because of McConnell? Kentucky, please vote him out.

Why would a common sense gun bill that passes the House not be passed in the Senate. Well it’s called a majority Republican Senate who receive blood money donations from the NRA. Americans the majority of us voted for sensible gun laws & 2020 we need to turn the Senate Democrat.

Will Federal Background check include mental health info?

RodolfoBlasterR We still gotta try. Point out wherein lies the obstruction of sensible gun reform.

Why waste time on policy that has no chance of passing the Senate? What is the purpose? Just politics? RepJerryNadler

Why is there not more talk about why the current system can’t return a decision within 3 days? Govt technological infrastructure is ancient!

When will the whole of government get out of bed with Gun manufacturers & into defending the American People?

Hopefully they've all read Pulitzer-Prize-winning author Richard Rhodes' book 'Masters of Death.' There's a reason why Americans want to keep their firearms - and it's NOT to shoot students.

If there's one obvious thing we need to do in our country that is to abolish the arcane Senate as it is not representational of apportionment and it is a left over of the days when rich, white, landed gentry decided everything in America. Same with the Electoral College - no more

Wouldn't it be amazing if the spineless Senate stopped kowtowing to their handlers and did the right thing just once, today of all days?

No the gop and freedomcaucus will instead offer “thoughts and prayers” as their solution

Didn’t know gang members and other criminals went through background checks! This is law abiding gun owner suppression!

I wish these headlines would be more clear. Democrats in the House passed the bills. Republicans will block it in the Senate. We need to spell it out every day so people have better information when they go to vote.

A very nice picture of... JUDGE ROY BEAN

The right honorable New York game player is once again wasting taxpayer money in this political gamesmanship ... Why doesn't he put a bill together to the balance the federal budget permanently...
