Gee, it doesn’t sound quite so reasonable when I put it that way, huh?
House Democrats are adding a controversial new demand to the government funding talks: ending a 19-year old ban on gun violence research by the federal government.
Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) announced Thursday that Democrats will insist that the research ban be removed from law as part of the $1.1 trillion omnibus that Congress needs to pass by next week to fund the government.
…Or what, Nancy? You gonna shut down the government or something? Count the damn votes, madam. Spoiler warning: you don’t have a majority in the House. You haven’t had one in four years. And when you did have one you threw it away on passing Obamacare.
So… no.
Yes, but it keeps us talking about guns, as opposed to terrorists and Obama’s vast body count overseas.
