Watch the video here.\n\u201cCongressional Republicans and the NRA signaled support of action on bump stocks in the wake of the 1 October tragedy,\u201d said Congresswoman Dina Titus. \u201cBut since then, their hopeful and sympathetic tone has morphed into radio silence. We cannot ignore the fact that if we don\u2019t act soon, we risk jeopardizing more innocent lives.\u201d\n\u201cMachine guns were outlawed for a reason and devices that turn a firearm into machine guns should be outlawed as well,\u201d added Congresswoman Kelly.\nIn the days following the Las Vegas tragedy, legislation was introduced to prohibit the manufacturing, possession or transfer of \u201cbump stocks.\u201d\nIt seemed that bump stock legislation was likely to be the first common sense gun safety proposal to receive a vote since Republicans took control of the House in 2010. However, a recent change of heart from the NRA has ground the legislative process to a halt on such life-saving measures.\nFollowing their speeches, Congresswoman Titus read the names of the 58 Las Vegas victims into the Congressional Record. These names add to the 150 already read into the Congressional Record by Congresswoman Kelly following her pledge to read one name into the Record for every dollar Speaker Paul Ryan took from the NRA during the 2016 election cycle.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://titus.house.gov/press-releases/watch-reps-titus-kelly-remember-las-vegas-victims-and-call-for-action-to-stop-bump"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8218127768486738, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
