Senate Staffer Indicates Gun Control Dead amid Impeachment Focus

An unnamed Senate staffer told the Washington Beacon’s Stephen Gutowski that gun control legislation is dead for now, as “the impeachment inquiry” is looming.

The universal background checks, “assault weapons” ban, and other gun controls that were front and center and presented as critical for public safety are now back-burner items.

Gutowski tweeted:

A Senate staffer tells me gun legislation is dead, at least for the time being, because of the impeachment inquiry. 631 6:06 AM - Sep 25, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy

That’s right. And they’re raising President Trump’s popularity while knocking down what little popularity they have..

Excellent post. I saw Trump say that. He put the burden of doing something about guns right back in Pelosi’s lap. He has the upper hand on more and more things.

Yup—the planning is underway now—where will they hit next?

(Now that school is in session and the kleptocrats love exploiting kids like that psycho “climate change” teen—that would be my bet.)

Serious or not, language has consequences. Turning gun owners to something like no warrant Child Protective Services bully uttering Red flag law is bound to create calls for impeachment on mere rumor mongering of harming the planet...

No...the Dems don’t want the focus off their inquiry....however, if public opinion yawns at the inquiry, then you’re probably right.

“In before the stampede of Freepers who are rushing to apologize for their stupid ass comments about how President Trump was going to abandon the Second Amendment and betray all patriotic Americans.”

The last thing you’ll see is FR’s surrender monkeys and Soros trolls piling in here with apologies. They live for defeatism and negativity and want everyone to be as pessimistic and miserable as they are. They’re a scourge to FR and the patriot movement.

Yes, of course. They'd sninnied out on a limb and had almost sawed it through, so they jumped over onto another limb they'd been sawing earlier. Thanks rktman.

***‘Protecting America from Assault Weapons’’***

Reminds me of the old TV show Quincy, M.E. in which the evil is a handgun, and he yells...”WE’VE GOT TO STOP ‘IT’ BEFORE ‘IT’ KILLS AGAIN!”
