In light of the tragedy in Colorado, we will not be covering anything regarding the incident out of respect for the victims until 48 hours has elapsed.

In this video, we dive into an article from the Hill which states gun control is on the ropes. The reference articles are attached below.

"Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said in the wake of a mass shooting at a grocery store in Boulder, Colo., that it is time to "make our stand" on gun reform."
"This is the moment to make our stand. NOW," Murphy tweeted late Monday. "Today, our movement is stronger than the gun lobby. They are weak. We are potent. Finally, a President and a Congress that supports gun reform. No more Newtowns. No more Parklands. No more Boulders. Now — we make our stand."

“Manchin says he doesn’t support House-passed background check bill”

Date of quote: 3/23/2020 (1 day after Colorado)

“Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) said Tuesday that he does not support House-passed legislation to expand background checks to all gun sales.
"What the House passed? Not at all," Manchin said, when asked if he supports the legislation.”

“Manchin, however, suggested he wanted a bill that provided a bigger carve-out for private sales between individuals who know each other.
"I come from a gun culture. I'm a law-abiding gun owner," Manchin said, adding that he supports "basically saying that commercial transactions should be background checked. You don't know a person.””

“Toomey said he didn't think "the House has passed anything that can pass the Senate."

“Manchin's opposition also raises questions about if the legislation would be able to pass even if Senate Democrats nixed the legislative filibuster, a move they also do not have the support to do.”
