Pelosi and Schumer Demand ‘Gun Control’ in Wake of Texas Mass Shooting

Fact checked
Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi immediately call on gun control measures in wake of Texas mass shooting

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer are calling for an immediate Senate vote on gun control legislation in the wake of the mass shooting in Midland, Texas on Saturday.

Seven people are dead and numerous more wounded – including three police officers and a 17-month-old child shot in the face – after a man armed with a rifle carried out the atrocity in west Texas on Saturday afternoon.

Like clockwork, Democratic leaders came out attacking the 2nd Amendment in response.

Thegatewaypundit.com reports: Pelosi issued a statement on the mass shooting in Texas:

“America’s heart is broken by the senseless and horrific mass shooting tonight in Texas. The prayers of the nation are with the friends and families of the victims and the entire Midland and Odessa communities, and our deepest gratitude goes out to the first responders, who are bringing help and healing during this tragic time.

“Enough is enough. Every day, the epidemic of gun violence inflicts a devastating toll in communities in every corner of our country, forcing far too many to endure heartbreak and tragedy. The Republican Senate must end its obstruction and finally pass the commonsense, bipartisan, House-passed gun violence prevention legislation that the country is demanding.

“Tonight and in the days to come, all Americans stand with the Midland and Odessa communities. May it be a comfort to those grieving the loss of their loved ones that so many mourn with and pray for them at this difficult time.”

Schumer fired off a tweet Saturday evening urging Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to bring a vote to the floor as soon as Congress returns from recess.

  1. Youse guys gotta learn something all of the forefathers knew, and they were not only smarter than youse guys, but they were better humans than youse guys, I say this assuming youse guys are humans, but I lean more the other way like pond scum. But now to youse guys lesson of the day, pay attention, for I know your attention span is limited and your narrow minded. Youse guys don’t demand anything, youse guys are public servants, and servants don’t demand. Youse guys are to assure that the demands of the people are met.

  2. Criminals always get guns one way or another. It is our duty to protect ourselves & even help police to stop these criminals, because guns don’t harm people only sick’os do that. So, please stop blaming the tools that are used to harm people (example: knives, bats, cars scissors, axes, guns, molotov cocktails ….. get my drift ?) We need to put these sick people in asylums or prison

  3. Just ! How many more MASS SHOOTING do we have to implement,before you give your guns away ?
    Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Shumer.
