Pelosi: Not 'Going to Rest Until' Congress Acts on Gun Control
Pelosi
Congress must take action on gun control in the wake of the Las Vegas mass shooting  House Minority Leader Rep. Nancy Pelosi  D-Calif.  said Wednesday in a town hall hosted by CNN.
"We're never going to rest until we get this done "  Pelosi  said in response to a question from Bob Patterson  a man whose wife was killed in the attack. Patterson had asked what  Pelosi  was going to do to prevent future mass shootings.
"We're talking about a bill that would say you have to have … a background check. It's 72 hours. It's a very short background check. So  I'm not making it harder for you to have a gun. All we're just saying is that you have to have a background check "  Pelosi  said.
 Pelosi  said that  she  believed it would be possible to ban bump fire stocks  which the shooter appeared to use in order to allow semi-automatic weapons to fire at automatic-weapon frequency  according to CNN.
"I do think there would be bipartisan support coming together to pass a bill to make it illegal to sell those  because you can buy them now "  she  said.
In a Thursday tweet   Pelosi  followed up on the town hall  saying that many gun owners are in favor of "common sense" solutions to gun violence.
