Quote the 09/09/19 edition of the HILL:
Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) warned on Monday that there would be “hell to pay” for Senate Republicans if they don’t pass a universal background check bill.

Democrats believe they have public support on their side, and were backed up by new polls released on Monday.

A Washington Post-ABC News poll found that 89 percent of respondents, including 83 percent of Republicans, support requiring background checks for all potential gun buyers.

Pelosi on Monday pledged that they would make the issue “too hot" for McConnell to handle.
"We are not taking no for an answer. We are not going away," she said. unquote.


good to see our Democratic national leaders are looking out for the country's interest...oh wait there are significant budgetary issues needing resolving or yet another governmental shutdown will occur shortly...
