With Democrats controlling the Senate and Republicans holding the majority in the House, there has been little movement on national gun legislation.
Just after 7 a.m. on a stifling morning, one day before his city's July 4 holiday celebrations, Baltimore's mayor dashed around the plaza outside city hall. Clad in a white polo shirt and sneakers, Mayor Brandon Scott, 39, ran from point to point, maneuvering between camera crews and a series of tightly-scheduled nationally televised interviews. He'd catch his breath, handle a phone call and, at one point, sprang back inside the building briefly in between appearances.
"There is more work to do, including establishing truly universal background checks, banning assault weapons and large-capacity ammunition feeding devices, closing more loopholes related to illegal gun purchases, cracking down on gun trafficking and more," said Democratic Rep. Shontel Brown, of Ohio, on Sunday. Her comments came in the wake of a mass shooting of nine people in Cleveland, one of nearly 30 mass shootings in the U.S. already in July.
As of Sunday, none of them had obtained a single GOP signature, signaling the effort could be destined to stall as the summer continues. Rep.
