Where House members stand on gun safety proposals

The Washington Post asked all House of Representatives members where they stood on the gun policy agenda proposed by some survivor of the Parkland shooting.

The five items are (summarized by the Post):

“1. Dedicated funding for the CDC to research gun violence
2. Strengthening the ATF’s ability to track and record gun sales
3. Universal background checks for gun purchases
4. A ban on magazines capable of holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition
5. A ban on assault weapons, including a registration or buyback program for these weapons already in circulation”

Most Republicans didn’t even answer.  There were 156 Democrats and two Republicans. who completely supported the agenda.

Democrats have not been perfect on gun safety but it’s clear nothing will get done with the Republicans, who are beholden to the NRA, in charge.

Sad!
