Last week, we saw this House floor, the people's House, taken hostage by Republican Members from Republican Members. We were sent home early. Bills were canceled. Committees were canceled because they couldn't pass the rule. Why are we back here? Why are things functioning now? What was the one thing that brought all the Republicans together based on some of the public reports and statements that have come out? Guns. We need to figure out in this country how we can solve this issue. The idea of more guns, more gun accessories, that is the issue that brought the Republican Conference together. That was the issue that broke the logjam of letting the people's House function again: guns potentially in the hands of people who are mentally ill, and gun accessories in the hands of people who are a danger to themselves or a danger to others. They are so lost on this issue. ____________________
