The Washington Post: House Speaker Paul D. Ryan said Tuesday that Republican leaders have no plans to advance a bill that would make it easier for Americans to buy gun silencers.
The focus on the legislation, which passed a House committee last month, was magnified Monday after the shooting in Las Vegas on Sunday night left at least 59 dead and hundreds injured.
“That bill is not scheduled now; I don’t know when it’s going to be scheduled,” said Ryan (R-Wis.). “Right now we’re focused on passing our budget.”
