Democrats in the House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force are pressing Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R) to allow gun control legislation to come to the floor for a vote.
The Hill reported that the Democrats refer to their proposed bills as “gun violence prevention legislation.”
When the House recessed one day early without any votes on gun control, the Democrats on the task force sent a letter to McCarthy, which said, “We are disappointed that Republican leadership cancelled votes in July with so many pressing issues facing our country. Foremost amongst those is the gun violence crisis that is the leading cause of death for children in America.”
