Marco Rubio's Florida State Senate got shocked enough by the Parkland shooting to pass a token gun safety bill. The Florida House has yet to act. Whatever Florida does, Rubio's token gun bill in Washington is belied by his pending bill to eliminate virtually all of the District of Columbia's gun safety laws. Worse, Rubio has put his D.C. bill in the Congress to raise his NRA rating for the last two Congresses. It did raise his NRA rating from B plus to A. I have managed to save D.C.'s gun safety laws, but Rubio's shamefully token responses in the Senate to the Parkland tragedy will be seen as one more act of hypocrisy until he stops meddling in the District of Columbia's affairs and withdraws his D.C. gun bill. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Gianforte). Members are reminded to refrain from engaging in personalities toward Members of the Senate. ____________________
