An FN509 Midsize with ammo and a spare magazine / Photo by Jack Shepherd-FullMagNews While President Biden moves along with his pro-forma comments and leftist talking points on guns (and everything else), Democrat lawmakers are exasperating the activists by showing little interest ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.
Democrats expect to lose seats massively in the House and may also lose their one VP-vote majority in the Senate as well.
Monday marked the fourth anniversary of the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School. Biden used the anniversary to call on Congress to pass his moribund gun-control legislation in limbo in the Senate for a year. His call may be falling on deaf ears, even as Democrats nominally control both houses of Congress.
The Hill reports : Negotiations between Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) stalled out over the summer, and there’s been little to no talk in the Senate Democratic Caucus about picking up two gun control bills that passed the House in March. Igor Volsky, the co-founder of Guns Down America, said that Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) promised anti-gun violence groups the Senate would vote on background checks legislation in the summer of 2021, but the bills didn’t make it to the floor. “We’ve been promised by Senate Majority Leader Schumer as far back as March, April that there would be a vote during the summer, then it got pushed back even further. They’re using this familiar playbook of making all kinds of promises during the campaign and then fail to deliver anything when they’re in power,” Volsky said. Sen.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
