House Democrats are planning to move several high-profile bills to combat gun violence soon after they take power in January, underscoring their belief that the political landscape has shifted dramatically on an issue that's plagued American society for decades.
With backing from House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and key chairmen, Democrats will move to require federal background checks on all gun sales, part of a broader effort by the party to advance long-stalled gun control measures.
While the proposal won't get through the Republican-run Senate, much less become law, getting through the House will be a win for the gun-control movement, which has little to cheer about since President Donald Trump was sworn into office.

It will be a win for the Democrats. If they don't pass every popular issue they can bring up for a vote in the House, whether they believe in it or not, knowing that the Republican controlled Senate will vote it down giving the Democrats a huge cudgel to wield in 2020, they're bigger idiots that I already take them to be.
...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
