"It's asinine that my colleagues in Congress continue to side with the NRA in support of more guns," Congressman Jamaal Bowman said on "Salon Talks." The Democrat from New York shared why some Republicans make it near impossible to pass common sense gun laws to protect children. "[Republicans] seem to be fine with our kids — regardless of background, race or class or religion — being killed by assault rifle," Bowman said. "They're a party of death, not of life, as they claim to be."
