El Paso, Dayton mayors want quick action on gun control but Mitch McConnell is in no hurry
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has no plans to call the Senate back to vote on laws beefing up gun background checks despite demands for immediate action from more than 200 mayors, including those of El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, two cities recovering from mass shootings.
McConnell is waiting to hear back from senators who chair key committees whom he has directed to work with Democrats to examine ways of preventing more mass murders.
"We're going to have these bipartisan discussions and, when we get back (Sept. 9), hopefully be able to come back and actually pass something," he said. "I want to make a law not just see this political sparring going on endlessly which never produces a result."
A lone gunman is accused of killing 22 people and injured dozens more at an El Paso Walmart Saturday. In an unrelated attack hours later, a gunman wielding an assault rifle killed nine and 26 injured in an entertainment district in Dayton early Sunday morning.
