Mike Lee is warning that Dems might try to sneak something objectionable-to-the-right into the fine print \u2014 which, sadly enough, is entirely possible, as neither party is beyond such <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/game\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"7\" title=\"Game\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">game<\/a>s.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, it\u2019s possible they won\u2019t get this done before the July 4 recess, after which each party will be even more reluctant, as the November elections grow near.<\/p>\n<p>You start to see why Congress hasn\u2019t done anything on guns in <em>decades<\/em>, even when Democrats had supermajorities in both House and Senate.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, there are 19 graves of 3rd- and 4th-graders and two teachers down in Uvalde.
