GOP Leaders Brush Off Trump's Gun Proposals

Description

On Tuesday, Republican leaders in Congress said they are not likely to arm teachers or raise the minimum age for buying semiautomatic rifles. The statement is a sign that two Donald Trump’s proposals may not get far on Capitol Hill. At a news conference, House Speaker Paul Ryan said, "We shouldn’t be banning guns from law-abiding citizens. We should be focusing on making sure that citizens who should not get guns in the first place don’t get those guns.” Democrats have said that Congress needs to expand the background check system to apply to all gun sales, not just those by licensed federal firearms dealers.

Business Insider reports Bolton asked GOP leaders to go against Trump's assertion that the winner of the 2020 election has not yet been decided. Sunday, Bolton said in an ABC interview that Republican leaders should tell voters 'Trump has lost the election and that his claims of election fraud are baseless.'

Trump's team of lawyers has litigated election results in all key battleground states. However, they have been unsuccessful in virtually every attempt. Right now, the Trump campaign is doing the legal equivalent of pitching pennies. Where are their silver dollars? Where is the evidence?
