Complicating the 2016 election -- Brady Bunch nails the citizen disarmament flag to the mast of Charlie Schumer's majority hopes.

The delay was mostly due to debates over how best to strategically push the gun-control issue, rather than any substantive problems with the legislation. And Gross said the group will continue to press for a floor vote on a background checks bill. But that alone could create some political problems for some moderate Senate Democrats who have been resistant to tougher gun laws.

Schumer did what that Politico article said he promised.

S.2934 - "A bill to ensure that all individuals who should be prohibited from buying a firearm are listed in the national instant criminal background check system and require a background check for every firearm sale."

No cosponsors, so unlikely to get out of committee.
