Senators Care More About Vacation Than Gun Legislation

U.S. Senate breaks for recess after gun control legislation gains popularity due to the terrible shooting in Uvalde, Texas. The Majority Report crew is joined by Heather Digby to talk about the Democratic Party and the loss of momentum this will bring to whatever legislation makes it to the Senate as emotions die down. The MR crew also talk about defunding the police and how Democrats could have used similar messaging regarding the diminished returns funding the police with huge budgets brings.

There are more people who want gun control and it ranges the gamut as to what constitutes gun control but there are more people who want gun control want the assault weapon ban. let's just say it that way then not i mean significantly more but the people who want who are the gun nuts that's their primary voting reason why they vote. And by and so their the density and the intensity of those voters out essentially outmaneuvers and outpowers a much greater size of voter who don't necessarily vote on that one single issue and that dynamic exists because on one side of this battle you had the NRA and the Republican party creating these zealots. And on the other side you just had people walking away and did not engage in this fight and we see it you know we're seeing in the context also and i don't want to turn from you know sort of the main issue here which is, of course, these guns are killing people, but the stuff with the cops like there is another narrative here that the Democrats.
