(Washington, DC) — Despite another mass shooting over the holiday weekend, Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley says he does NOT foresee any new gun control legislation moving forward in Congress that would prevent future killings. Grassley says the bipartisan gun bill that was signed into law last month by President Biden was “very hard” for lawmakers to create. A gunman opened fire at an Independence Day parade in a Chicago suburb, killing six people and wounding more than three dozen. Grassley voted “no” on the bill, along with every Iowa Republican in the U-S House. Fellow Republican Senator Joni Ernst voted “yes” on the measure, as did Democratic Congresswoman Cindy Axne.
