Due to Hurricane Dorian, the House Judiciary Committee canceled plans to have its members come back early from recess to take up a batch of gun bills.
WASHINGTON – The House Judiciary Committee announced Friday that due to Hurricane Dorian it was canceling plans to have its members come back early from a six-week break to get a jump start on taking up a batch of gun bills.
The panel planned to have its members come back to work early and hold a Wednesday meeting before Congress was scheduled to be back in session on Sept. 9. The delay dampers efforts by Democrats to quickly get several gun bills in shape for a House vote and shift public attention back to the issue of guns, which includes putting intense pressure on Republicans in the Senate to take up meaningful action on gun laws and background checks.
The Senate, though, is unlikely to take up any of the legislation and has instead been examining its own measures addressing mental health, video games and a"red flag" proposal, which Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C. has said he would introduce. But a large component of what the Senate ends up proposing will depend on the White House and President Donald Trump.
