In Face of Las Vegas Shooting, Congressional Inaction

[spanone]

Democrats seized on the violence in Nevada to demand tougher gun restrictions, but the Republican-Controlled Congress looks unlikely to respond.

The deadly mass shooting in Las Vegas renewed Democrats’ calls Monday for gun safety legislation, but their pleas fell on deaf ears in the Republican-controlled Congress. At the same time GOP legislation aimed at loosening gun rules stood in limbo, facing an uncertain future.

Before the shooting that killed at least 59 people -- the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history -- House GOP leaders had been moving forward with bills to ease regulations on gun silencers and allow people with concealed-carry permits to take their weapons to other states.

Republicans have been upbeat about prospects for legislation as they control both the House and Senate and have an ally in the White House in President Donald Trump. But no votes on either bill were scheduled as of Monday.

1. The day after, the very day AFTER Scalise returns to Congress after almost dying from an

attack at a softball game. Republicans have the gall to say it's not the right to talk about gun control or regulations.

WTF?
