Gun control back on Congressional agenda?  June 2015

If some politicians get their way, gun control will, indeed, be front-and-center (link is external) in Congress once again:

In the wake of the Charleston shooting, Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) are considering ways to renew their failed push to expand meaningful background checks on gun purchases.

In separate interviews Tuesday night, at a reception before a ceremony hosted by Sandy Hook families where Toomey was honored, the senators discussed their desire to find a new way forward.

“We want to make sure we have the votes. Pat’s going to have to, and I’ll work with him, to get some of our colleagues on the Republican side,” Manchin said, adding that he hasn’t talked directly to Toomey about a revival. 

It's just another example of the old saying "never let a good crisis go to waste." And one that we will be watching very, very closely.
