An unnamed Senate staffer told the Washington Beacon’s Stephen Gutowski that gun control legislation is dead for now, as “the impeachment inquiry” is looming.
The universal background checks, “assault weapons” ban, and other gun controls that were front and center and presented as critical for public safety are now back-burner items.
The information Gutowski shared squares perfectly with one of President Trump’s tweets on Tuesday, wherein he suggested the Democrats were trading their legislative agenda for an opportunity to get Republicans (and Trump himself).
