Rep. Chabot: We Need to Come to a Resolution on Gun Control
In the wake of the Texas shooting that killed 26 people, last Sunday, gun control is a major topic in the halls of Capitol Hill. Congressman Steve Chabot, a Republican representing Ohio's first district, told Cheddar that new gun laws will not stop criminals from obtaining lethal weapons and committing crimes.
Meanwhile other politicians, have been advocating for tighter gun controls, as the nation has seen two deadly shootings in the span of a month.
The congressman is also Chairman of the Small Business Committee. He said on Tuesday that the republican's proposed tax plan will cut taxes for small businesses down to 25 percent.
The republican congressman, slammed fellow Ohio congresswoman Marcy Kaptur, who told Cheddar last week that lowering the corporate tax rate will ultimately lead to more outsourcing.
"I think that comment is just ludicrous," Chabot said.
