Gun control bills prove divisive Rep. Madison Cawthorn speaks on HR1446 on March 11. CSPAN screenshot
A pair of gun control bills passed the U.S. House of Representatives last week and are now heading for the Senate. Republican Rep. Madison Cawthorn kept a campaign promise to vote against such proposals, delivering a fiery speech on the House floor telling Democrats that “here in real America, when we say, ‘come and take it,’” referring to a popular Second Amendment rallying cry, “we damn well mean it.”
Cawthorn also said that he spoke for millions of Americans, and specifically, the 700,000 people in his district, but as debate over HR8 and HR1446 continues, there’s at least one constituent in his district who disagrees.

ADVERTISEMENT We have a slim gun violence prevention majority, but we have the majority, which we know includes eight Republicans, said Brian Lemek, executive director of Brady PAC.
Eight GOP lawmakers last week voted for the background check legislation that would require unlicensed or private sellers to conduct a check before they transfer a firearm.
Schumer on Thursday promised to bring the bill, known as H.R. 8, to the Senate floor, though he did not specify timing.
“The legislative graveyard is over,” he told reporters. “H.R. 8 will be on the floor of the Senate, and we will see where everybody stands.”
