guns top the Democrats' immediate to-do list. Party leaders say they aim to mark up three gun control bills this week, and are pressing for the Senate's Republican leadership to allow a vote on a landmark gun background check bill that cleared the House earlier this year.
Both parties are acknowledging that any significant action depends directly on Trump.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said early this month that he will only bring a gun bill to the floor if it has the president's backing, but Trump has given no clear preference.
"The president needs to step up here and set some guidelines for what he would do," Republican Senator Roy Blunt told NBC's "Meet the Press" show Sunday.
He also warned against inaction.
"I'm afraid what's going to happen here is what always happens, is we take this silly 'if we don't get everything, we won't do anything'" approach, Blunt added.

the fact that the turtle would even consider this regardless of whether a president would or would not be in favor of it speaks volumes and it’s not good

DemocRATS are committing suicide.
But they're too crazy to recognize it.

‘Gun curbs’? What about ‘guns on the street’?

Regarding this Dimmiecrat party-wide infantile gun ban, give it the correct grown-up answer: tantrum, as Nancy proclaimed:
"Just say NO!"

Roy - your guidelines are to enforce the laws already on the books. Make no new laws.

I disagree! The top democratic agenda is to unseat Trump.
