Senate Set To Skip Town For 2-Week Break Without Action On Guns

The earliest the Senate could hold a vote on guns is Saturday, which would spoil those plans.Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) said Democrats shouldn’t take the blame for GOP intransigence on gun control.“If the Republicans would actually break their addiction to the gun lobby … we would stay till midnight, night after night, to pass it,” Brown said. Americans can cast their vote in November for senators or members of Congress that reflect how he or she stands with guns,” Schumer said.He said Democrats will also continue to push Republicans to work on a bill. “I’m just a 76-year-old woman, I don’t know what I can do…but crying and raging at home doesn’t do any good, does it?”There’s a woman outside the Capitol in tears pleading w Senate to hold a vote on expanding background checks — as soon as possible.“Because things get stale, life goes on and people start to forget, the pictures of those kids get off the TV…why won’t we let a vote?” pic.twitter.com/19NLzyqPRZSenior Politics Reporter, HuffPostDeputy Politics Editor, HuffPost
