"However, there are serious problems with @realDonaldTrump's approach. 1st, his own @ATFHQ agency has warned that it does not have the authority to ban bump stocks. The only way to close this loophole permanently is through legislation. 2/"

"2nd, the Fix NICS bill @POTUS has tentatively endorsed barely scratches the surface of our problem & must be just the start of a legislative remedy that at a minimum fully strengthens & funds #backgroundchecks, closes loopholes, & keeps guns from ppl who shouldn't have them. 4/"

".@HouseGOP combined the Fix NICS bill w/ the NRA's top priority, concealed carry reciprocity, creating a bill which would be even worse than the status quo. I strongly urge @SenateGOP to avoid making the same mistake & instead work w/ Dems to pass real #gunsafety solutions. 5/5
