WEST HARTFORD, Conn. – Struggling to break through Republican resistance to bans on assault-style guns, President Joe Biden met Friday with families afflicted...
“I call on those who serve at the will of the people to stand up and join our fight, so we can pass sensible solutions. And if not, get out of our way,” she said, speaking just before Biden.That frustration among gun control advocates is with Andi Turner, a longtime gun rights lobbyist in Austin.
A committee approved the bill but it got no further in the state House. Gun rights groups enjoyed a number of other victories, too, blocking proposals to limit magazine size, and precluding Texas cities and counties from requiring gun owners to buy liability insurance. “For sure I want to see way more,” said Bosley, a board member of March For Our Lives. “My brother was killed at church getting ready for band rehearsal. My cousin was killed down the street near his home. In Chicago, you don’t have to be doing anything wrong to lose your life.”
Cruz and other gun rights advocates often cite Chicago’s violence as evidence that restrictions don’t work. “The surrounding states are flooding our communities with guns. Although we have decent gun laws, they are not a wall,” he said. “It takes 15 minutes to get from my house to Indiana.”Stefanie Feldman, the White House staff secretary and until recently, a senior domestic policy adviser to Biden, said the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act has already put a dent in gun violence
