Every GOP House member had the ability to fulfill that promise and still they voted no. One vote was all that was needed.

Demuth later declined to bring a gun safety package to the House floor after pieces of the package had previously failed to make it through committees in the evenly-split chamber.

Demuth has rejected the characterization of the meeting with the parents, saying during a televised debate that she only promised the bills would go through the legislative process. The bills received votes in House committees, she said.

Clearly they didn't understand that to be the context of the meeting, Lisa. So, that's on you for not being clear with them, not on them.

What a shitty excuse- "That meeting was to placate the people affected by gun violence, not to promise to help them!"

Big deal. You weren't going to vote for her anyways. The gun control proposed wouldn't prevent another shooting.
