Summary

He opposed a House bill expanding background checks but came out in favor of measures to ban assault style weapons and proposals for red flag bills.Democratic efforts to pressure Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to call the Senate back to vote on gun legislation to expand background checks following back to back mass shootings are being ignored by the top GOP leader.But there is some movement among some Republican lawmakers, who are calling for action on some gun-control measures.Ohio GOP Rep Mike Turner, who represents Dayton, where a gunman used an assault-style weapon to kill nine people and injure at least 27, announced on Twitter on Tuesday that he now backs proposals to enact new limits and on firearms."I will support legislation that prevents the sale of military-style weapons to civilians, a magazine limit, and red-flag legislation," he said. "Too often after mass shootings," he said, "we hear there were early warning signs that were ignored."Turner's statement is stunning, considering the National Rifle Association endorsed him ahead of the 2018 midterm elections.Ohio Republican Sen. Rob Portman, who voted against a bipartisan bill to expand background checks in 2013, told Roll Call in the Capitol on Tuesday, "I think we should look at everything."Portman also pointed to the need to press ahead with proposals to enact red-flag laws, noting that there were reports about the shooter in Dayton preparing lists of people he wanted to kill.Turner did not mention any change in his position on proposals to expand background-check requirements for gun purchases.
