And when you whip and don\u2019t have the 218 needed, you pull the bill to avoid a public relations debacle.\u00a0 Pelosi had to yank the bill because a few\u00a0Democrats from moderate districts didn\u2019t want to vote on an unpopular gun grab bill months before elections.\u00a0<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>That said, Pelosi has during the break to twist arms. Don&#8217;t consider the bill as being dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thereload.com\/house-democrats-balk-delay-assault-weapons-ban-vote\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Stephen Gutowski&#8217;s The Reload<\/a><\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The fact it doesn\u2019t have the votes to pass the Senate regardless of what the House does has added to the difficulty of the election-year vote as well.<\/p><p>John Bresnahan, who has spent decades covering Capitol Hill and co-founded\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/punchbowl.news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Punchbowl<\/em><\/a>, said the bill isn\u2019t doomed yet. He said Pelosi needs more time to try and please progressive members and those from the Congressional Black Caucus as well as moderates. The former want the ban and limits on how police funds can be used, while the latter are leery of the ban and pushing for the funding.<\/p><p><strong>\u201cI think the window is still open,\u201d Bresnahan told\u00a0<em>The Reload<\/em>. \u201cWhen you get that close, you don\u2019t just walk away from it.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><p>He said Pelosi can afford up to four defections from Democrats and still be able to pass the bill. With somewhere over 210 members already on record supporting the bill, leadership only needs to bring a few more on board. The failure to corral a vote before the recess is a notable setback, but Bresnahan said Democrats have until the end of September to figure out how to get their caucus to agree.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>So keep writing and calling your representatives.
