While President Biden moves along with his pro-forma comments and leftist talking points on guns (and everything else), Democrat lawmakers are exasperating the activists by showing little interest ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.
Democrats expect to lose seats massively in the House and may also lose their one VP-vote majority in the Senate as well.
Monday marked the fourth anniversary of the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Biden used the anniversary to call on Congress to pass his moribund gun-control legislation in limbo in the Senate for a year. His call may be falling on deaf ears, even as Democrats nominally control both houses of Congress.
The Hill reports:
Negotiations between Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) stalled out over the summer, and there’s been little to no talk in the Senate Democratic Caucus about picking up two gun control bills that passed the House in March.
Igor Volsky, the co-founder of Guns Down America, said that Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) promised anti-gun violence groups the Senate would vote on background checks legislation in the summer of 2021, but the bills didn’t make it to the floor.
“We’ve been promised by Senate Majority Leader Schumer as far back as March, April that there would be a vote during the summer, then it got pushed back even further. They’re using this familiar playbook of making all kinds of promises during the campaign and then fail to deliver anything when they’re in power,” Volsky said.
Sen. Jon Tester (D-Mont.), who represents a state where hunting is a popular pastime and where nearly two-thirds of adults live in homes with firearms, said the subject of gun control legislation hardly ever came up for discussion within the Senate Democratic Caucus during Biden’s first year in office.
“It hasn’t come up in conversation in the last year,” he told The Hill shortly before Thanksgiving.
Sen. Joe Manchin, the moderate Democrat from West Virginia, said the staunch Republican opposition “makes it very difficult” to get something through the Senate.

I hope they try, with what’s going on in Canada right now, that my be all it takes to start a real revolution in this country. People don’t know it, but it’s coming. And it may be started by people who took the vax once they truly realize they’re all dead.

Biden’s Gun-Control Agenda Going NowhereJust like Biden’s reelection.
Thank You, GOD, for more time to prepare… Amen.
Our government is not a act of God…they have another thing coming if they think American citizens will give up their rights to protect themselves and standup too tyranny from our government…it’s not civil war we need but a change in government that is for the people of these United States of America.
The cracked Democrap team of braindead Biden, giggles Kamala, crazy corrupt Nancy and crying Schumer need to be impeached!
Right now Mitt Romney and Lindsey Graham have moved to provide Bidden with a two vot majority!
Volsky sound like you come from a communist nation (or socialist,nazi, what ever). My suggestion is to go back to that so you can have your gun control. See in America we do npt like idiots taht want to change our country, our consitution/bill of rights especially to loser communist (or what ever controlling type of govt you losers have. I bet there are plenty of people under these controling govts who are good and capable of running their lives. I understand you are not one of those so go back.
The democrats know that any viable push to enact gun control measures this year will absolutely galvanize opposition to their agenda by their opponents on all sides of the political spectrum. They would be extremely unlikely to retain a majority in either chamber of congress, if they pursued such an agenda. They probably won’t anyway, but THAT would certainly seal their fate.
Biden, the Demented Dipschitt has had failure after failure since taking office. Nothing has gone right with any of his policies and goals. Everything he’s touched has turned into a Fustercluck.
Typical of him, he starts aiming at the 2nd. Because he believes the 94 AWB actually did something. His AWB didn’t do anything and that’s why it was allowed to lapse, and it was a very big infringement on our 2nd Amendment Rights, though he lies his arse off about that.
So, here we are going into a midterm election that will very likely be a bloodbath for the Democrat’s, because of Biden’s failures, and the Senile Old Coot wants to bring Gun Control out. Mainly because he’s an Idiot as every poll shows low public support for new gun laws. All the Dems up for election know this, and that’s why most aren’t going along with President Schittypants’ New Anti Gun agenda. They know if they embrace his “new/old tired plan and rhetoric it’s political suicide.
Grandpa McSniffy’s agenda is dead in the water. It’s not going anywhere.
Two truths to remember: 1. An armed man is a citizen; an unarmed man is a subject. 2. When only the police have guns, it is a police state. Has anyone else noticed that those who advocate gun control are the ones who know the very least about them? Has anyone else noticed that those who advocate “common sense” gun controls never define “common sense?” That could be because they don’t have any or that “common sense” controls are intended to lead to total confiscation in incremental steps. Also, in case you haven’t noticed, they actually believe that they are smarter than you are and know better than you how you should be living your life. These Socialist Dictators-in-Training must be removed from office.
Victory awesome
News flash to the gun ban groups: you do not have to face the voters in November. Congress does.
But they might have to face us
