Video Summary
In a new gun control effort, Democrats are regrouping and targeting Suburban women. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer plans to pass gun control legislation in response to a new round of mass shootings. Despite lacking the votes to pass in the Senate, Schumer aims to draw a contrast between parties and gain political power.
House Democrats are also making efforts to push gun control bills through bipartisan support. They are attempting to muster enough support for discharge petitions to push the bills through the house, despite the opposition of Kevin McCarthy. So far, they have not been successful in convincing moderate rank and file Republicans to buck their leadership.
The focus of the Democrats' gun control efforts is on gaining political power and using tragedy and crime to further their initiatives. They are emphasizing tragedy and crime to push forward a distinction between Republicans and Democrats, in order to gain political points and power. They plan to make gun control a main talking point for the 2024 campaigns.
This approach has drawn criticism as it is seen as using the entire specter of gun violence for political gain. Democrats are targeting Suburban women as a critical block of the electorate, as polls show that they support tougher gun laws. Despite the obstacles they face, Democrats are determined to continue their gun control efforts and make it a key issue in the upcoming elections.
