Beto O’Rourke congratulates House Republicans who backed gun reform bill
Beto O’Rourke congratulated the Democrat-controlled U.S. House of Representatives for passing a significant gun control bill on Wednesday, making a point of including the handful of Republicans who backed it in his praise.
Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America is a campaign to strengthen gun-safety laws in the country. Representative Mike Thompson, a California Democrat and chairman of the House Gun Violence Prevention Task Force, introduced the bill. “For six long years, we worked on this issue, and the previous majority would not even let us have a hearing, let alone a vote to expand background checks. Today is a new day and the show of support on both sides of the aisle for this important legislation is humbling.
"Want to talk about a national emergency? Let's talk about today, the one-year anniversary of another manifestation of the epidemic of gun violence in America," Pelosi said at a press conference on February 14, referring to the 2018 Parkland school shooting, which left 17 dead.
