She\u2019s constantly being pushed further and further to the Left by progressive and antigun members of her caucus who are not interested in finding common ground on firearm safety proposals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the rush to place blame on law-abiding gun owners for the tragedies in Buffalo, New York and Uvalde, Texas, didn\u2019t give away their cynical intentions, the public House committee hearings this week on proposed gun control bills did. None of the proposals would have stopped the reprehensible acts and wouldn\u2019t stop future incidents. It was all for show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Know What You\u2019re Selling<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The U.S. House Committee on Rules held a markup hearing to debate the massive gun control package Speaker Pelosi is pushing through for a vote.
