Governor Gavin Newsom castigated the Senate Majority Leader for not putting gun control legislation to a vote. \u201cMitch McConnell is a coward. He\u2019s abdicated leadership,\u201d he said.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

On Monday, Newsom met with various officials seeking to blame Republicans and urge Congress to pass a California-style law requiring universal background checks\u2014one of the strictest gun control regulations in the nation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Far from what Newsom wants the public to think, McConnell has already said that gun safety measures, specifically background checks, will be discussed after Congress reconvenes.<\/span><\/p>\n

President Trump has also confirmed that congressional leaders have been having \u201cserious discussions\u201d on background checks.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In a couple of tweets<\/a>, Trump explained his position on the issue of gun safety and gun rights.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now if only Newsom had a modicum of common sense when it comes to working in a bipartisan way, rather than just seeking the media spotlight by spitting at our country\u2019s leaders, California would be in a much better place.<\/span><\/p>\n
