Democrats strategize to push gun control bills past GOP opposition.
TL;DR Summary
House Democrats, led by Rep. Lucy McBath, are attempting to force votes on three gun control bills by gathering signatures for discharge petitions. The proposals have stalled due to Republican opposition, but Democrats hope to go around GOP leaders by using this tactic. The bills include a ban on AR-15-style firearms, expansion of background checks, and tightening of rules for obtaining weapons without a background check. McBath, a gun control activist whose son was killed in a shooting, said Democrats are using every tool available to find solutions that will save American lives.
