Senate Heads for Gun Control Reckoning

“Senate Democrats say a major floor debate on gun control is inevitable after a mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, left at least 19 children and two adults dead, only 10 days after another massacre killed 10 people at a supermarket in Buffalo,” The Hill reports.

“The second high-profile killing spree in the span of just more than a week means that Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY) will be under heavy pressure to bring a gun-control measure to the floor before the July 4 recess, risking a partisan brawl that could be tough on vulnerable Democrats up for re-election in swing states this fall.”
