Congress looks at gun policy after August recess

OMAHA, Neb. (KMTV) — After two mass shootings, in one day, earlier this month, gun control activists say now is the time something can be done in Congress to prevent future mass shootings.

After the fateful Saturday, where over 30 people were gunned down in El Paso and Dayton, many people, even Republicans, spoke out, saying Congress needs to pass some gun control measures.

But all of Congress is out of Washington DC throughout August, on recess, and both houses won't come back until September.

Multiple Republicans have recently came out in support of a red flag law. This would allow police to take away guns from those reported for potentially violent behavior.

Nebraska Republican Don Bacon agrees with a potential bill, if there is due process, saying it could have stopped the Parkland shooting in Florida.
