The former congressman said, “There are two things I would suggest tonight. Flip the House. Republicans are not going to do a single thing after this shooting…”

Furthermore, Jolly emphasized that he’s been in Republican politics for over 20 years. He reiterated that he is just being brutally honest about his party. According to him, “And the reality after each shooting…is Republicans are not going to do a single thing.”

Democrats want reasonable gun control

Moreover, the ex-GOP lawmaker said to those Americans who are primarily concern about gun issues, they need the Democratic Party to control the House.

Jolly said, “You need the Democratic Party to be in charge and address reasonable gun control. Republicans will not do it.” He added, “Only Democrats are speaking to reasonable gun control today. Republicans are hiding from the American people.

Last year, former Rep. Gabrielle Giffords implored the Congress to take action on gun violence after the Las Vegas shooting. Giffords, a Democrat, was shot in the head during an event with her constituents in Arizona in 2011.  The gunman killed six people and injured 11 during the shooting.
