GOP House Leaders Urged to Debate Gun Safety After Six Killed in Nashville School Shooting

Six people were killed in a mass shooting at a school in Nashville, Tennessee, prompting a heated exchange between Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene and freshman Democratic Rep. Jared Moskowitz during a House hearing. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries echoed the frustration of those who believe the logical response to multiple shootings with assault-style weapons should be to restore a ban on such weapons, urging Republicans to bring the bipartisan universal criminal background check legislation and an assault weapons ban to the floor for debate. The exchange between Greene and Moskowitz highlights the divide between those who believe gun safety should be a priority and those who do not, and Jeffries has called for debate on the issue.
