LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Jessamine County Republican Party is calling for the resignation of Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell after he supported passage of what they called “dangerous and unconstitutional legislation” on guns.
In a censure document released by the party and sent to every other Republican Party in the state, the group condemns the longtime senator for his support of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.
The legislation went into effect on June 25 and puts into place gun safety laws including extended background checks for gun purchasers under 21, clarification of Federal Firearms License requirements, funding for state red flag laws, and criminalization of arms trafficking and straw purchases.
