The motion, put forward by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, would have reauthorized the Assault Weapons Ban, which first passed in 1994 and expired 10 years later. The US has recorded the highest number of mass shootings for the second year in a row.

I’d be fine with changes to all manner of healthcare and insurance coverage, including single payer.
