His excuse du jour
Johnson, R-Oshkosh, on Tuesday evening voted against advancing the legislation, which also enhances background checks for gun buyers under 21, includes new federal gun-trafficking offenses and expands an existing law preventing people convicted of domestic abuse from owning a gun. Fourteen Republicans voted in favor of advancing the legislation Tuesday, which passed the Senate 64-34, including some who said the legislation didn’t conflict with the Second Amendment.
