Gun Control Risks Losing Momentum as Impeachment Fever Rises

Associated Press

   LAS VEGAS - After back-to-back mass shootings in Ohio and Texas this
   summer, gun control burst back on the scene as a major political issue
   for Democrats. Now it risks taking a back seat as impeachment fever
   overtakes Washington.

   Gun control advocates are determined to prevent that from happening.

   Ten White House hopefuls will be in Las Vegas for a forum on gun policy
   on Wednesday, almost two years to the day after a gunman killed 58
   people at a country music festival on the Las Vegas Strip in the
   deadliest mass shooting in modern American history. The event is being
   hosted by MSNBC, March for Our Lives and Giffords, the advocacy
   organization set up by former Arizona congresswoman Gabby Giffords, who
   was shot and gravely wounded during a constituent meeting in 2011.
