On Wednesday Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) hit the brakes on the idea of a quick gun control vote, making clear a vote on more gun restrictions will have to wait.
Breitbart News pointed to a report the New York Times published Tuesday which said Schumer was moving quickly to “force” a vote on gun control in the Senate.
The Times noted, “Within hours of the shooting in Uvalde, Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York and the majority leader, moved to clear the way to force votes in coming days on legislation that would strengthen background checks for gun purchasers, pushing to revive measures with broad appeal that Republicans have blocked in the past.”
But on Wednesday the Hill reported that Schumer informed his Democrat colleagues a gun control vote will have to wait because there are not enough Republican votes to get anything passed.

You can bet this is because they are planning something worse.
No, he told everybody...he doesn't have the R votes to pass a bill, period.
He knew when he started spouting his BS that he didn't have the R votes to pass a bill.
Posturing and grandstanding is all Upchuck has.
I don’t like political jokes. They get elected. I saw Obama win TWICE.
This is a flat-out lie. The whole purpose of Schumer’s grandstanding is to hold a vote just to score political points. If he’s refusing to schedule a vote, it’s because he’s afraid of how badly it will play for DEMOCRATS.

LMAO
Even the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, used to be called Handgun Control, Inc but they changed both their mission statement and name after the public rejected them.
This photo of smiling Schumer coming back to haunt him. Much like Diane Feinstein and her AK-47 moment.

The Mid-Terms are too close for them to vote on it, and they obviously don’t have the votes to pass it now because too many of their Senators are facing tough elections this year.
My cousin bought one of those 25+ years ago. I remember shooting it out back around Christmas at my grandparent’s farm. I swear it seemed like bullets were exiting the barrel at about a 20 degree random angle.
Hey Moe!
Sinema and Kelly don’t talk about gun control in Arizona. Kelly is an infamous gun grabber, but it’s an election year.
"Don’t use your finger on us, Joe. We don’t know where it has been."

Their vacation comes first. Afterward they will forget all about it.
