Pelosi to Paul Ryan: Give Us a Vote on Gun Control

‘The only reason you won’t give us a vote is if you think we would win’

RUSH EXCERPT:
PELOSI: "All we want is a vote. I feel quite certain there would be bipartisan support to pass the background check bill. It is Thompson-King, Peter King of New York, Republican. We have a number of people who have said they would support the bill. Let me just say to Speaker Ryan, just give us a vote. The only reason you won't give us a vote is if you think we would win, but that's a reason to give us a vote. President Lincoln, he said public sentiment is everything. And this is time for the public really to weigh in. And we just have to keep persisting. Because we have these moments of silence. And certainly we want to be prayerful and respectful in a moment of silence. But people are impatient of that. They want action. And action is possible. We have the bill. It's bipartisan. Give us a vote."
