Democrats and gun control activists hope they will be able to succeed in passing some kind of new federal gun control measure into law for the first time in decades -- and they're aiming to pressure Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in new ways to do it

McConnell has for months now been the plug halting nearly every piece of legislation Democrats pass through the House, including gun measures that enjoy bipartisan support.

McConnell reverses course on Supreme Court nominees 01:11But there's also evidence that he's frustrated by the growing taunts of Democrats and activists. They chanted"Moscow Mitch" at him during his event in Kentucky over the weekend, trolling his obstruction of the election security measure.On Twitter Sunday night,"Moscow Mitch" had given way to a hashtag #MassacreMitch to pressure him over gun legislation.

— Amy McGrath August 5, 2019 Amy McGrath is a former military pilot and the first Marine to fly an F/A-18 in combat. She took umbrage at McConnell's campaign putting her name on a mock gravestone.

Amazing how can encourage harassment and violence against McConnell but Twitter only blocks TeamMcConnell when they post a video showing the result of 's incitement.

By threatening to “stab him through the heart”

Pressure... by shouting that he needs to die. Yikes

Yeah, ok. By threatening violence? You condone this, correct ? FakeNewsCNN

I wonder who gave them his address?

CNN condones the harassment of senators

You won't get anything accomplished until people seriously agree to the problem.

Join the ranks of all the other “laws” that these disturbed killers ignore. Let’s zero in on the “disturbed”.

TuckerCarlson IngrahamAngle DonaldJTrumpJr This is how CNN reports on ANTIFA as well. MrAndyNgo KateBolduan

Twitter allowing a hashtag to trend literally calling for THE MURDER of a US Senator

A woman is on Facebook Live, outside of Senator McConnell’s home in Louisville, saying she hopes someone “just stabs the mother f*cker in the heart, please.” KYSen

Why does ANYONE follow Corrupt News Network? Seriously, why?

Hope? They can pressure mitch all they want just like after all the other mass shootings. Lol. Resurrecting Harvey Weinsteins career would be more likely!

Any one who's watched senatemajldr over the years, knows Badgering an Old Turtle 🐢 won't work. Go 🐢 Go ... Slow and Steady ... Go 🐢 Go! 🇺🇸President realDonaldTrump🇺🇸 ❤🙏🇺🇸❤🙏🇺🇸❤🙏🇺🇸❤

Republicans are corrupt as hell being paid off by corporation's but they're right about more gun control laws, they won't stop the mass shootings only getting rid of the guns will, like Australia did.

Shame on this man, reveling in the “ power” of his “ serving the people “ position in the senate! He’s surely not serving the people. It’s more like a club, trumps party! No longer Republicans, none that I’ve known in my life. They’re something quite different, dangerous !

Wow cnn did you catch all 5 of those protestors threatening to stab the senator to death?

You call these gun control advocates? These people don’t care about lives, it’s obvious while they’re at a US Senators home harassing a sick man & his family at night and calling for his murder. Sick ass people!

Good luck with that. Mitch needs to go.

Clinton administration banned assault weapons and Bush and the rest on the right let it lapse. Yes, this is the fault of the right.

‘New ways’ means doxing and harassment at his home. Two things CNN is excellent at.

Moscow Mitch took a $25 Million dollar Kickback from a Chinese Road Const. Co.!Moscow Mitch needs to go to Prison!His Wife Too!for a Road Constr. contract in Kentucky!

Don't expect MassacreMoscowMitch to all of a sudden develop a conscience. MoscowMitch is corrupt, pure and simple. He's beholding to the NRA will not allow the Senate to vote on any the House gun control bills.

Maybe if law should be changed. Get assault rifles, off the streets, limit shells in shot guns, hand guns have to be holstered.and can be seen, without going in pocket to show that they have it! Maybe publish COPS job description ! Serve and PROTECT!!

Moscow Mitch is another despicable creature

Mitch need to retire

What and how? Change to law to: Nobody - not the FBI, CIA, SS or any citizen is allowed to carry any fire-arm on his person. Full stop!

Ban war weapons or RESIGN!

Hopefully🤦‍♂️🤞🙌

All they have to do is stop sending him partisan bills.

Look id love to get rid of my guns ,but until Jesus rids evil from this world ill keep mine for protection.

6)It is good that activists&celebrities lend their support to help end slayings,but they r wasting precious efforts on gun control when the root cause is mental instability&anger mgmt issues. If they continue on,then they WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE for each new murder NOT by guns.

Thanks for warning us... The gun control activists will never stop trying to undermine our Constitution.

5)Public Health authorities must take the lead in this,to create awareness,inform,receive feedback&take decisive actions to help,in conjunction with Education Dept. Resolving shooter incidents is not thru Congress or gun control,but Public Health dept-to tackle it at its root..

4)Rather than to go for knee jerk & useless solutions such as gun control, instead look DEEPER into the mental health of young men,those who r prone to violence,& should be reported to authorities,not to incarcerate him,but help him thru rehabilitation.

3)NOT all mentally ill patients end up as killers,but there r degrees of mental illness. Shooters fall into the category of propensity to act violently. Even if just one,it is enough to cause alarm&mayhem in society & even politics disguised as anger against an ELECTED President

Yeah ehm screaming death threats outside his house will not get any federal gun control laws passed ... but it will probably get those idiots making threats at a Comgressman arrested. 😏

2)Banning guns&rifles WILL NOT END ANY FURTHER slayings. It is a reality,worldwide. Even stones can kill. The cause of such shootings/slayings lays in the mentality of the killer - often unstable,ill or have anger management issues to deal with.

Please tell me, what are guns actually used for instead of shooting people (and feral hogs)?

1)May Senate Majority Leader McConnell & rational thinking Senators stay strong against the anti-gun,anti-Constitution lobbies & the Dems who only see it as a means to win votes,&not a heart for victims except crocodile tears.

Nah... not gonna happen.

I just hope this guy get it now stopsellinggun

In other words, you want people to go to his house and harass the shit out of Mitch McConnell because rabid loony left wing mob speak is the way to make someone do what you want them to do. Did I get that right, ?

Only way to get Mitch to pass gun legislation is to have his boss direct him to do it. I’m pretty sure Putin is against gun control in the USA!

CNN openly sponsors violent attacks on a persons home now?

Don’t do it, Mitch! This is the United States of America! Not the United States of Scandinavia.

Guns don't pull their own triggers. People do.

Impeach McConnell he ruined the Senate just as Harry Reid did. It's sickening. senatemajldr on a power high

Initially, I thought no action towards gun control was possible after El Paso and Dayton (and Gilroy the week before), given that Sandy Hook didn't change things. But now it seems that having two massacres back to back seems to have really magnified the grief and anger. 🙄

2AShallNotBeInfringed

Calling for violence and harassing him at his house should really drive home the ban weapons of self defense rhetoric...

By recording themselves wishing death on him outside his home? Definitely going to work

Yeah, like threatening to redrum him.

Democrats ! We stabd you ! Just dont take us to NRA

MassacreMoscowMitch is evil, pure and simple.

How? Put a big candle on his shell?

Lol .. as we WAIT. WAIT play or VIDEO GAMES EAT PIZZA and , with my Hispanic best friend!

You guys mean like this?

Democrats AND gun control activists? Democrats ARE gun control activists. And they're on a fairly laughable losing streak. Just ask Piers Morgan.
