WASHINGTON, D.C.- Congressional lawmakers are pushing for significant gun control legislation and have introduced two bills aimed at sweeping overhauls of the nation’s current gun laws.

According to reports, a bi-partisan group of lawmakers, led by California Rep. Mike Thompson have reintroduced legislation that will require background checks for all gun purchasers. Thompson also leads the congressional task force on gun violence prevention.
The legislation was first introduced in the House back in January 2019 following the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. The school shooting caused a wave of youth-led activism that rallied Democrats around gun control.
The legislation passed in the House in February 2019, making it the first significant piece of gun legislation to be approved by the House in nearly 25 years. However, when it made its way over to the Senate, it stalled. Thompson said in a statement:
“Time and time again, we have seen that the American people want universal background checks, in fact public polling shows that the majority of people, Democrats, Republicans, and Independents support this.”
He added:
“We began our work to combat the scourge of gun violence eight years ago after the tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School and will not stop until we deliver for the American people.”
Reportedly, the bill is being co-sponsored by Rep. Jerry Nadler, the Democratic chairman of the House Judiciary Committee; Democratic Reps. Sheila Jackson Lee of Texas, Robin Kelly of Illinois, and Lucy McBath of Georgia.
Republican Reps. Fred Upton of Michigan, Christopher Smith of New Jersey, and Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania are also co-sponsoring the bill. In a separate matter, Majority Whip James Clyburn recently announced that he was going to re-introduce legislation that would close what has become known as the “Charleston loophole.”
Allegedly, that loophole allowed Dylann Roof, the white supremacist who killed nine people in 2015 at a historically black church in Charleston, S.C., to buy a handgun even though he should have been barred from purchasing the weapon.
Universal background checks are a commonsense approach to address the gun violence epidemic plaguing our country. I’m proud to support the Background Check Expansion Act and look forward to passing it and other much-needed reforms.

According to Clyburn, the House is expected to vote on that legislation in the coming week. He said in a statement:
“Enacting common-sense gun control measures is a priority for President Biden and his Democratic Congress and this legislation is a good first step.”
He added:
“A large majority of Americans, including gun owners, support universal background checks. This legislation is needed to keep weapons out of the hands of those who should not have them and save lives.”
The new legislation push on gun control comes as members of the Biden administration, including Susan Rice, head of the Domestic Policy Council and Cedric Richmond, the director of the Office of Public Engagement, have both met with representatives of groups pushing for stricter gun laws as well as community groups that are focused on violence prevention.
In a statement marking the third anniversary of the Parkland shooting, Biden called on Congress to:
“Enact commonsense gun law reforms, including requiring background checks on all gun sales, banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, and eliminating immunity for gun manufacturers who knowingly put weapons of war on our streets.”
He added:
“We owe it to all those we’ve lost and to all those left behind to grieve to make a change.”
Two new bills are being introduced in a fresh new push for gun control legislation in the country.

When asked about Biden’s timetable for passing such measures, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said that throughout his career, Biden has advocated for “smart gun safety measures.” She added:
“He is not afraid of standing up to the NRA. He’s done it multiple times and won on background checks and a range of issues. And it is a priority to him on a personal level.”
Biden has a history of dealing with gun legislation. After the Sandy Hook shooting, President Obama dispatched Biden to lead the push for sweeping new gun laws. However, at that time the bill requiring expanded background checks died on the Senate floor.

As a senator in 1994, Biden sponsored the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act, which included a 10-year-ban on assault-style weapons. However, it also included some provisions that he has come to regret, including harsh penalties for drug-related crimes.
It’s sad … it’s sick … it’s despair causing that there’s not a MAN anywhere to be found in ANY media. Take a moment of silence to let that sink in. In THE land of freedom of speech and arms there is no man with a brain and a testosterone count higher than a soy bean! All informed and semi informed patriots look at the following 2 links real quick and notice how things have accelerated to the point where “we’re used to ( aka numb to, ) crud like this smeared into our faces by possessed freaks.” –

I hear actual talk everywhere about restructuring America – which no way can be saved as a whole anymore – into 4 or 5 new “Republics,” ( which everyone wants now, ) ours being an enlarged Confederate States II. Yet not even a peep about this ANYWHERE FROM ANY MEDIA!
The founders would be ssoooo ashamed of every media platform, blogger and podcaster today that there’s no telling how they’d react!!! Of course THEY would’ve had Confederacy 2.0 already formed and thriving.
Spread the word to the soy beans with 2 arms 2 legs and hair on top falsely calling themselves “journalists” and / or “patriots.” They are pathetic … and as goes the “newsmen,” so goes America.
🙂 Look Pa … even independent sites censor the truth … just like Gaybook, Twitter, Youtube and the other commie scum!
Yes son … they’ve been eating soy, taking a knee and being hypocrites for so long now they can’t change. America’s on it’s own. White Christians need to move to the south and “own it,” and start their own “investigative news and solutions platform,” and separate themselves from apes, wiggers and knee takers.
