As Schumer blasts Abbott as 'absolute fraud' over Uvalde, Sen. Cornyn calls for bipartisan gun law
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., seen in an April 28, 2022, file photo, said Wednesday the Senate would vote next month on gun-related measures. WASHINGTON — As negotiations on possible gun reform got underway in the U.S. Senate on Thursday, Majority Leader Chuck Schumer blasted Gov. Greg Abbott as an “absolute fraud.”
“This is the same Gov. Abbott who tomorrow — tomorrow — will go speak at the NRA convention in Houston,” Schumer said. “Gov. Abbott, will you ask your MAGA buddies and your NRA pals to put aside their agendas and think of someone other than themselves like you asked the families to do? Will you ask the gun manufacturing reps who will swarm over the NRA convention to put aside their agendas and think about someone other than themselves? Of course not. Gov.
U.S. Sen. John Cornyn said Thursday that he plans to meet with the Democrat leading those negotiations to “see if we can find some common ground.” The Texas Republican authored the last major gun legislation to pass the Senate,which tightened requirements for states and federal agencies to report criminal history data to the FBI’s National Instant Criminal Background Check System.
“I think we ought to talk about it, but it’s no panacea,” he said of red flag laws. “I’m not taking anything off the table except for denying people their constitutional rights, who are law-abiding citizens.”The two senators have tried to reach a deal on possible gun reform legislation in the past. Negotiations fell apart last year on a bill aimed at closing the loopholes allowing some gun buyers to bypass background checks.
