Dude is just never happy.
Via The Hill:
Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) on Wednesday poured cold water on “red flag” legislation that is gaining traction among some Senate Republicans in the wake of a pair of mass shootings over the weekend, calling the measure an “ineffective cop out.”
“The notion that passing a tepid version of an Extreme Risk Protection Order (ERPO) bill—alone—is even close to getting the job done in addressing rampant gun violence in the U.S. is wrong and would be an ineffective cop out,” Schumer said in a statement.
He added that Democrats “are not going to settle for half-measures so Republicans can feel better and try to push the issue of gun violence off to the side.”
Schumer’s comments come as several Republican senators have floated passing legislation to provide incentives for states to pass red flag laws in response to last weekend’s mass shootings in Dayton, Ohio, and El Paso, Texas.
