Ashley Oliver The Republican Study Committee’s (RSC) budget proposal, which the committee is rolling out Wednesday, contains a number of Second Amendment provisions, including the House’s newly passed pistol brace rule repeal that had become a source of controversy this month. A first glimpse at the gun-related section was provided to Breitbart News in advance of its release and reveals the budget, led by RSC chairman Rep. Kevin Hern (R-OK) and budget task force chairman Rep. Ben Cline (R-VA), supports the pistol brace bill, known as the SHORT Act, and at least two other major gun-related policies. ... “The RSC Budget makes clear that Americans’ constitutional right to keep and bear arms must be protected, with policies that strongly defend that right,” Cline said in a statement. The RSC is known for its membership size, comprising more than 150 members and representing a wide cross section of the GOP, from the most hardline members to those that tend to vote more moderately. |
