House Minority Leader Accuses ‘Extreme MAGA Republicans’ of ‘Hiding’ Stance on Gun Control

House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) accused “extreme MAGA” House Republicans of “hiding” their position on gun control on March 30, challenging them to bring related legislation to the House floor.
“We have a gun violence epidemic in America that is unacceptable, unconscionable, and un-American,” Jeffries asserted at his weekly press briefing. “Children being slaughtered in schools becoming a way of life in the United States of America—that can’t be. It’s time that this Congress put kids over guns.”
The Democrat added: “House Democrats believe that weapons of war—which are not used to hunt deer but are used to hunt human beings and slaughter innocent children—do not belong in our communities across this country. If Republicans have a different view, then air that out on the House floor in front of the American people. We’re confident in our position; stop hiding your position, and let’s debate this issue of gun safety in front of the American people.”…}
