So what could that something be . Well, anything would be an improvement. The last three years that i have been in congress not one bill has come up in terms of gun violence prevent. Theres been more than 300 of them, not a hearing, not a vote, no accountability. So we are hearing some movement from republican colleagues that they might be interested in background checks. Is what the one thing you think is most realistic . What other items could be politically feasible .

And evidence it may be a p pattern due to a specific cause instead of it being random . Having spent a long time on this now, with the faa and they have been very responsive. I think its a case of busy airports like atlanta, theyre pushing more and more people through there, but when you have volume, you have to be more stringent about safety. Youre holding the gun violence town hall at Stanley Middle School in lafayetdowntow lafayette . Thats why your congressmen are back in town this week so you can talk to them and they can listen.
