House is focusing on wrong thing

Posted August 17, 2019 1:00 am

While the Democratic house is busy deciding how to deal with the president, I think they have taken their eyes off the ball. For years they have been supporting gun control. Now that they have control of the House they have not sent any bills to the Senate regarding gun control. particularly the automatic rifles.

Why don't they send a bill to the Senate and make the Senate vote it down? Then we all would know who is really worried about our safety. Everyone knows the AK 47 and the AR-15 automatic rifles were developed for the military with one purpose in mind, killing people.

Well, it's working. According to CBS News, there have been more mass shootings in 2019 than days of the year. Their definition of mass shootings is four or more people being shot.

Wake up, House of Representatives. Show us you are as concerned about our safety as you are impeaching the president.
