'Hell to pay': Democrats warn Republicans against ignoring background check bill
Democrats returning to Capitol Hill following a summer of several deadly mass shootings warned the GOP they won’t abandon efforts to pass a bill expanding background checks for gun purchases.
“We are not taking no for an answer,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, said Monday at a press conference in the Capitol.
“If this bill is not passed, Mitch McConnell, President Trump and Republicans in the Senate will have hell to pay,” said the California Democrat.
Sen. Mitch McConnell, the Senate majority leader, has pledged to make legislation addressing gun violence a top priority this month and has tasked three committees to come up with bipartisan proposals.
McConnell made no mention of gun control legislation when he opened the Senate on Monday afternoon.
