Shooting survivor and U.S. Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA) says the Democrats refused his request to testify against the gun control currently being pushed in the House.
Steve Scalise says Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA) asked Democrats to let Scalise give testimony before the House Judiciary Committee and they told him no.
Fox News reports that Scalise decided to make public the testimony he would have given, testimony that explains why universal background checks will not reduce gun violence or make Americans safer.
Scalise referenced the June 14, 2017, Congressional baseball shooting in which he was nearly killed. He noted that the gunman acquired his guns via background checks, just as nearly every mass shooter of the 21st century has done. Because of this means of acquisition, Scalise notes that universal background checks would not have stopped the shooting from taking place.
The same can be said about the November 5, 2009, Fort Hood shooting; the July 20, 2012, Aurora movie theater shooting; the May 23, 2014, Santa Barbara shooting; the October 1, 2015, Umpqua Community College shooting; the June 12, 2016, Orlando Pulse shooting; the October 1, 2017, Las Vegas shooting; and the February 14, 2018, Parkland high school shooting, to name but a few. In each of these crimes, the guns used were acquired via background checks.

Of course the democrats won't let Congressman Scalise testify. They are democrats and their isn't an honest one alive. They don't want the pathetic ignoramuses who vote democrat to hear another side of a story. They want things that don't fit their agenda hidden from their dumbed down moron IQ level voters. And their voters none of whom is worth a darn are happy to be controlled because they have sunk so far down in the cess pool.
Truth is not a virtue Democrats possess.
Come on folks.
There is no difference between Democrats and Republicans.
None.
The US government is completely out of control.
Because of never Trumper Republicans these clowns got elected.
