Gun control talks stall in Congress amid impeachment inquiry
WASHINGTON — Gun control and anti-gun violence advocates fear that just as momentum was building behind their efforts to change gun laws in the United States, the politics of impeachment may have thrown a wrench in the works.Those fears were stoked by reports that President Donald Trump is continuing to consult with the National Rifle Association (NRA) about supporting his battle against impeachment as well as the 2020 campaign.Kris Brown, the head of Brady United Against Gun Violence, says America can’t afford to wait for the situation to sort itself out and the Senate needs to vote on the universal background check bill that the House approved months ago.Last week, President Trump told reporters an impeachment inquiry will prevent finding solutions on gun reform.“We can’t talk about gun regulation, we can’t talk about anything because frankly they’re so tied up, they’re so screwed up,” he said.But on Wednesday, Democratic leaders vowed to keep pressure on the president.“We’re not going away until we get legislation signed into law that protects our children,” Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi said.Congressman Jamie Raskin, D-Maryland, says President Trump could take a page out of President Bill Clinton’s playbook.“When the Republicans impeached Bill Clinton for telling one lie for sex, Clinton said: ‘that is a constitutional process.
