Progressive Rep. Mondaire Jones promised that Democrats would eliminate the filibuster and expand the if either the or the high court stood in their way of passing gun control. He told : 'You will not stop us from passing [gun control]. If the filibuster obstructs us, we will abolish it. If the Supreme Court objects, we will expand. We will not rest until we've taken weapons of war out of our communities.' The New York and 'Squad' member made the bold claim during a Judiciary Committee markup of the Protecting Our Kids Act, a package of eight gun control bills that comes on the heels of a shooting in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Wednesday that left four dead, one last week at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas that left 21 dead and a shooting in Buffalo, New York where 10 were killed.
