The gun control group 97% had a meeting
Fudd anti-gun group @97Percentorg is now talking about how much they’ll miss Nancy Pelosi and lamenting how gun control probably won’t pass a Republican-controlled House
Congressman Moulton now talking about how great Nancy Pelosi is. Says it will be a “tough road ahead” for gun control in the House
Congressman Moulton says he still supports “assault weapon” bans despite the fact that 97Percent (which he is a board member of) found that they’re opposed by gun owners and ineffective
Joe Walsh says the federal government should “protect” the Second Amendment by passing gun permit laws
Walsh says it will be easier to pass gun control if Democrats don’t even “hit at” gun bans (which the Democratic Reps on this very panel have been doing)
So far, the people at this event have talked as much about the NRA as they have about 97Percent
Congresswoman Dean says they should work with gun owners to go after “ghost guns”
Moulton says that red flag laws are a good place for Congress to start
The panel says the federal government should pass red flag laws because states might take them too far
Walsh laments that some Republicans took pictures with guns or had them in campaign ads
Fred Guttenberg now arguing for “assault weapon” bans at a conference for a group that said they’re ineffective
Guttenberg says that “common use is now a business strategy of this industry”
Michael Siegel says 97Percent’s platform was developed with the help of multiple organizations, including Giffords’ “Gun Owners for Safety”
