Conservative Republicans are pushing back at a GOP gun bill that House Speaker Paul Ryan – and the National Rifle Association – support as an alternative to Democratic gun-control legislation.
"I think it's dead," GOP Kentucky Rep. Thomas Massie tells The Hill.
The gun provision was part of a larger GOP anti-terrorism package that was scheduled – and then postponed.
"Enough members don’t have enough information," Rules Chairman Pete Sessions (R-Texas) said Tuesday, the Hill reports. "What we’re trying to do is work toward resolution where we’re all on the same page."
The House GOP gun proposal would give the Justice Department three days to convince a judge there's probable cause that a prospective buyer would use the weapon in connection with terrorism, and stop the sale, The Hill reports.
