The Democrats’ background check bill is already tanking

Chuck Schumer and his Senate Democrat colleagues have a gun control problem on their hands. President Joe Biden has already promised his liberal supporters that he was going to get some gun control legislation passed, but even the bill viewed as having the best chance of reaching his desk has been declared dead on arrival in the upper chamber. H.R. 8 is the bill that was supposed to expand background checks to a universal level and was viewed as being at least somewhat less onerous to Second Amendment supporters. But now, it appears that Schumer and Pelosi won t even be able to reuse their bogus reconciliation scheme to hammer H.R. 8 through because it won t even reach fifty votes on the Senate floor. So now it s back to the drawing board. Schumer is still claiming that he will bring something to the floor when the Senate returns from recess, but what that will turn out to be remains a mystery.
