The Congressional Black Caucus renewed calls for gun-control measures and police reform Friday morning, following fatal shootings of five police officers in Dallas and two black men in Louisiana and Minnesota this week.
Caucus members listed a number of actions the group wants to undertake: a meeting with Attorney General Loretta Lynch and FBI Director Jim Comey, a police-reform bill sponsored by Rep. John Conyers (D-MI), and votes on universal background checks and “no fly, no buy” legislation.
House GOP leadership has not indicated that a vote on gun-control measures is likely, Rep. John Lewis (D-AL) told The Daily Beast. Conyers said negotiations on the police bill, the Law Enforcement Trust and Integrity Act, are “stuck.”
The caucus members harshly criticized GOP lawmakers, specifically House Speaker Paul Ryan, for the lack of legislation on gun-control and law-enforcement reform.

Did they detail what gun control would have done for this particular instance?
I wonder who really has the answers to the problems?

Exactly, the Dallas shooter wasn't on a list or interviewed by the FBI 3 times. Just a average Joe that broke and unfortunately for the victims and himself death was the outcome.

I don't think he broke. I think this is a natural result of the BLM movement .. which the black caucus supports. If anything THEY are co-conspirators.
Obama is incapable of new thought, maybe thought in general.
Step 1 to racial problems: Wave goodbye to Obama.

Not Obama.
Not Lynch.
Not the Black Caucus.
None of them even want to address the real issue.
Basically all 3 want to turn the entire country in to Chicago.

You can take away one means and violate the civil liberties of every single American here.
But they won't fix ANY THING.
