The Gun Violence Prevention PAC says it appears there isn’t the political will to call a special session to ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines before the November election. President and CEO Kathleen Sances said Friday there is a public outcry to pass those initiatives as soon as possible.
Bills are already filed in both chambers, but there clearly isn’t enough support. Sances explained her organization knows of 58 representatives and 17 senators willing to vote for the ban. These proposals would need support from 71 representatives and 36 senators in order to pass.
“Although the public is asking for these protections, we have lawmakers in districts who aren’t there yet,” Sances said. |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
