Reply #11: Likewise they had no opinon on DC voting rights.

"They" (well more like endorsed representatives) attached an amendment which forced changes on some of DC worst gun laws (like considering any semi-auto pistol a machinegun).

When the amendment passes the Democratic leadership pulled the bill from consideration.

Pelosi would rather see DC residents not gain voting rights then some abusive gun control laws (which violate the spirit if not letter of DC v. Heller) be stripped.

Democratic leadership pulled the bill from consideration, not the NRA, and not Republicans. Given the amendment passed it is more than likely the final bill would have passed also. Pelosi never allowed a vote.

Per the article:
“I honestly don’t care about D.C. voting rights,” Mr. Cox said of the legislative maneuvering. “I care about reforming D.C. gun laws, and we’re going to use voting rights or any other vehicle at our disposal to address what we consider a blatant disregard for the Constitution.”
