Summary
Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia squashed scrapping the filibuster to pass a gun-control bill, arguing on Tuesday evening that the filibuster was "the only thing that prevents us from total insanity."His statement came hours after an elementary-school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, left at least 18 children and a teacher dead."It makes no sense why we can't do common-sense things to try to prevent some of this from happening," Manchin told reporters at the Capitol.
