In the wake of America’s latest school massacre, House Democrats are pushing once again for tougher checks on firearms and new limits on who can own them.
But as Congress returns to Washington this week following a long spring recess, even some of Capitol Hill’s most ardent gun reformers say they don’t expect last month’s tragedy at an elementary school in Nashville, Tenn., — where a lone suspect shot and killed three adults and three children — to spur Congress to pass any new gun constraints, given the near-unanimous opposition from Republicans in both chambers.
