Schumer waves the bloody shirt for Democrat votes

Schumer: Vote Democrats in Midterms If You Support Gun Control

Following a shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, that left at least 19 dead, Democrats are again demanding wide-reaching congressional action on gun control.

But Schumer, who has pushed through a series of doomed bills for issues ranging from election law to abortion to spending bills, says that he will not pursue a similar effort with a gun control bill.

“There are some who want this body to quickly vote on sensible gun safety legislation,” Schumer said in a statement.

“They want to see this body vote quickly so the American people can know which side each senator is on—which side each senator is on. I’m sympathetic to that. And I believe that accountability votes are important. But sadly, this isn’t a case of the American people not knowing where their senators stand. They know.
