Congressional Republicans are slamming President Joe Biden s recent executive actions on gun control in the wake of two mass shootings as unnecessary and counterproductive, and claim further restrictions on ownership are not the answer to gun violence.
A new poll by Morning Consult/Politico shows that most Americans feel differently. Limiting the ability for any law-abiding American to buy a gun will not make America safer, tweeted Rep. Dan Newhouse (R-WA) this week.
Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) wrote in a tweet Sunday, It s clear Democrat guncontrol laws don t work. Just look at the cities they control. If violent crime were down in places like Chicago, Portland and D.C., we might entertain their logic. Their failed policies don t prevent violence or protect our communities.
