Obama and his allies?
It was McConnell who allowed the bills to be voted on — knowing they would likely fail.
All this did is give Clinton and the Dems ammo to run ads on the evil Republicans failing on gun control to protect the public from future terrorist attacks, etc.
McConnell fell into that trap or went in on his own initiative.
McConnell is essentially an Obama ally...
Most likely the latter.
Repubs voted to uphold the second amendment...not to enable killers.
Dems voted to say Repubs are enablers.
“All this did is give Clinton and the Dems ammo to run ads on the evil Republicans failing on gun control to protect the public from future terrorist attacks, etc.”
