Trump Blames Democrats For Failing to Pass Gun Control Laws Under Obama: Didnt Want To



In response to the mass shooting that took place on Wednesday at a high school in Parkland, Florida, President Donald Trump blamed Democrats for not pushing stricter gun control laws when they were in power during Barack Obama’s tenure.

“Just like they don’t want to solve the DACA problem, why didn’t the Democrats pass gun control legislation when they had both the House & Senate during the Obama Administration. Because they didn’t want to, and now they just talk!” Tweeted Trump.

I knew that the "total control" trope was a lie, and that the Democrats only had 60 votes in the Senate for about 4 months, I just didn't have the exact timeline. So this is a wonderful resource!

I've bookmarked it.
