Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) announced Thursday he is willing to sit down and discuss gun control legislation with Sens. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and John Cornyn (R-TX).

This is the second time in four months he has agreed to talk to about gun control proposals.  On November 8, 2017, Breitbart News reported that he had agreed “to allow a Judiciary Committee hearing on bump stock gun control.”

Ironically, two of the key proponents of those hearings were Feinstein and Cornyn. Additionally, Feinstein had put forth a bill to ban bump stocks altogether.

Fast forward to February 2018 and CBS News reports that Grassley is again expressing willingness “sit down with Sens. Dianne Feinstein and John Cornyn” and talk about “what sort of agreement [they] can reach on legislation.”

Grassley said, “The three of us are going to sit down and talk about this.”

His decision to discuss legislation comes as Feinstein fights to revive her bill to ban “assault weapons.”
