Don't worry folks! Pete King's in charge!

King added that “when the time comes, if it comes to a vote, there will be significant support among Republicans.”
The Long Island Republican told POLITICO that his thinking on guns is shaped from his experiences in New York, which has tough gun laws, but often sees gun violence result from weapons brought in from other states with looser restrictions, he said.
“Virtually every time there’s a murder in New York, the gun tracked comes from another state,” King said, noting that he is the son of a cop and has worked closely with New York City Police Commissioner Ray Kelly. He added, “Unless there’s a federal law with federal regulations…people are going to get killed in New York. It has a very direct link to New York because of the fact that so many people, including cops, have been killed with guns obtained outside the state because there are no gun show background checks.”
