Republicans prevented Democrats from forcing a Senate vote for a ban on bump stocks on Tuesday when the latter attempted to bring a bill to the floor.
Sen. Pete Ricketts, R-Neb., blocked a Democratic attempt on Tuesday to force a vote in the Senate on a bump stock ban, which would restore the federal rule recently struck down by the Supreme Court. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., revealed on Sunday that Democrats would attempt to force a vote on legislation to ban bump stocks, which are firearm accessories that assist in firing weapons in more rapid succession.
If my Republican colleagues want to do the right thing for the country, the answer is very simple: join us, every one of you, to ban bump stocks, so we never see the kind of carnage we saw in Las Vegas, Nevada ever, ever again,' Schumer challenged his colleagues in floor remarks on Monday. Following the Supreme Court's ruling, former President Trump's campaign stressed that its decision should be respected.
