McConnell, His 10 GOP Pushovers, And Any Others Who Attack The Second Amendment Can’t Be In Leadership:
Sacrificing Americans’ constitutional rights to hoaxing Democrats is something Republicans should lose their jobs and leadership positions over
The corporate media is abuzz with news that senators have reached a “bipartisan” gun deal that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell endorsed on Tuesday — but sacrificing Americans’ constitutional rights to hoaxing Democrats who have and will use their power to target their political enemies is nothing for Republicans to be proud of. It’s the type of ideological surrender that they should lose their jobs and leadership positions over.
The bill text is still not available but from what Democrat Sen. Chris Murphy’s Twitter feed and the official framework indicate, the legislation could include sweeping measures such as problematic red flag laws that overstep too many constitutional bounds for Republicans to comfortably sacrifice.
Despite concerns that the legislation could compromise Americans’ Second, Fifth, and Fourteenth Amendment rights, McConnell and 10 of his squishiest GOP colleagues including Sens. John Cornyn of Texas, Thom Tillis of North Carolina, Roy Blunt of Missouri, Rob Portman of Ohio, Richard Burr of North Carolina, Mitt Romney of Utah, Bill Cassidy of Lousiana, Susan Collins of Maine, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, and Pat Toomey of Pennsylvania plan to join the Democrats’ anti-gun escapades. Together, they caved to the emotional blackmail wielded by Murphy and amplified by the corporate media.
Republicans have no good reason to trust Democrats to skilfully create legislation that is mindful of Americans’ rights. Nor do GOPers have reasons to support legislation that yields little evidence of actually deterring criminals from committing crimes that are already illegal. --->READ MORE HERE

Mitch McConnell says he's 'comfortable' with with the deal on gun legislation struck by senators Murphy and Cornyn and may even vote for it:
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell offered his public blessing to a nascent framework on new gun safety legislation struck by senators over the weekend.
"For myself, I'm comfortable with the framework, and if the legislation ends up reflecting what the framework indicates, I'll be supportive," McConnell told reporters at his weekly press conference on Tuesday.
Taking questions from reporters, he also noted that Sen. John Cornyn of Texas — the main Republican involved in the negotiations — had shown GOP lawmakers a poll during their Tuesday caucus lunch indicating that gun owners are supportive.
"Support for the provisions of the framework is off the charts. Overwhelming," McConnell said.
"I think if this framework becomes the actual piece of legislation, it's a step forward," he said, adding that the framework "further demonstrates to the American people that we can come together, which we have done from time to time on things like infrastructure and postal reform, to make progress for country." --->READ MORE HERE
