Bring the ban of assault weapons up in Congress for a vote now,

Exposing those preventing its passage, and on the record. If they get targeted for removal from Congress by voters maybe they'll change , or get voted out and replaced. The American people have the power to change what's happening by voting. We need better representation from our government officials. Schummer and Pelosi need to put the spotlight on those preventing reasonable gun legislation.

I honestly wish I believed there was a point to such a Dog & Pony Show.

But we KNEW how the Abortion vote would go a couple of weeks ago, and putting it on the record only seems to result in more Campaign Contributions and Votes for those who opposed that bill, and will oppose this one.

I can tell you right now who will vote No, with 100% CERTAINTY. And going "On The Record" will give them Zero pause about which way they vote. In fact, they'll enjoy it.

…they would probably pass it as written just to get one of their judges to issue an injunction on it and fast track it straight to the Supreme Court where it would nullify all assault weapon bans.

Their voters wouldn’t understand the game, freak out and vote for other people.
