Democrat presidential hopeful Cory Booker blasted Sen. Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) after the Texas and Ohio shootings, demanding the Senate be convened for a gun control vote.
USA Today reports universal background check legislation has been sitting in the Senate since being passed by the Democrat-controlled House in February of this year. Demands for Senate passage of the checks has been made again and again following high profile, firearm-based crimes. Breitbart News reported Hollywood calls for “universal background checks” following the July 29, 2019, Gilroy Garlic Festival shooting in California.
But the majority of shooters–like the Gilroy Garlic Shooter–acquire their guns at retail, which means they are already passing background checks to get their guns. Universal checks would not change that.

Booker. What a joke that guy is.
HR 8. Waste of time
Amazing how often the Democrats, as the minority party, make “demands.”
This is not a federal issue. It is a Texas issue or Ohio issue today.
Mitch should call their bluff, recall all the Senators and make them vote.
They would panic........................
Where’s the Bill? What’s in it? Is it allowed to be read first?
Why didn’t you get Obama to do it when you controlled everything ?
BY DEFINITION, criminals don't obey the law. That's what makes them criminals. So if they don't obey the old ones, why will they obey the new ones?
We already have over 20,000 gun laws in this country. How will new laws help?
97 percent of mass shootings occur in gun-free zones, so the liberals' solution is to turn the entire country into a gun-free zone.
They are making this demand, knowing that Mitch will probably not recall them, so they can spout off for then next 6 weeks without any damage.
He should call their bluff, recall them and MAKE THEM VOTE FOR GUN CONTROL.........................Just like AOC’s GREEN NEW DEAL.....................
Dems truly ARE the definition of INSANITY! Let’s just keep making more laws - when none of these recent crop of mentally ill young men bought guns or ammo illegally in the first place!
Here’s an idea: Let’s start RESCINDING the laws that make it impossible for parents, teachers, and social workers to lock these nuts away from the rest of us!
If it saves ONE child...Blah, Blah, Blah!
WOW! Have we EVER seen such an attempt by Democrats and the left to cash in on tragedy?
The homosexual senator has spoken.
Booker is just pissed because he has a lot of white blood in him.
Nope. It's like Naughty Nan says: You have to pass it before you can see what's in it. That's the new legislative road map.
“All politics is local.”........Former Speaker Tipp O’Neill (D-MA)
Except when it will get my face on national TV............
No longer, when a black person so much as suffers a paper cut, and the press proclaims it was due to “racism”.
He is trying to get attention to himself and get some support from Dems in the primary.
He is desperate and also stupid. People like that will do anything to try to get attention.
NO!
Booker and Beto are Disgusting Pigs!! Lying Leftist Scum like them are the reason I will Never Ever vote for a DemonRat! They destroy our country and they destroy good decent people who truly Love America and ALL her people!
They have worn out The Race Card.................
