Scalise is back (Original Post)

OP
Orrex
(62,779 posts)1. It will be interesting to see what he has learned from this ordeal (nt)
it has deepened his faith. Wonder if his ideas about gun control have changed.

(15,915 posts)4. I think, no change
In his stand on guns, he will continue to tow the NRA line!

I wont hold my breath waiting for a Republican to gain enlightenment.

(58,785 posts)7. Deeper faith without repentence won't point him to that narrow gate
he presumably believes in. A repentant and anxious GOP whip would be pretty funny. Lol. If only.

(28,136 posts)9. He loves guns
During the 112th Congress, Scalise introduced the Firearms Interstate Commerce Reform Act, which eases federal restrictions on interstate firearms purchases. He also co-sponsored a bill to repeal the DC gun ban a law that was later overturned by the Supreme Court in the District of Columbia v. Heller and he sponsored the National Right-to-Carry Reciprocity Act of 2011, which would allow national reciprocity for concealed carry permit holders. Scalise has earned an A+ rating from the National Rifle Association.

seems to really like him

(15,681 posts)11. Nancy Pelosi is about as professional as a leader comes
and more compassionate than any Republican. Scalise is a member of the House of Representatives where she is Minority Leader and was once Speaker. She cares about the people she works with and puts the human being before the politician.
