"In February, the new Democratic House Majority promptly did its duty and passed the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019, which is supported by more than 90 percent of the American people and proven to save lives."

"However, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell has called himself the "grim reaper' and refuses to act on this bipartisan legislation. It is incumbent upon the Senate to come back into session to pass the House-passed Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019 immediately."

"It took less than three hours for President @realDonaldTrump to back off his call for stronger background check legislation.

When he can't talk about guns when he talks about gun violence, it shows the president remains prisoner to the gun lobby and the NRA."

"The public must weigh in and demand passage of the House-passed Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019 for the safety of our children."

"#EnoughIsEnough

@SenateMajLdr Mitch McConnell has called himself the "grim reaper' and refuses to act on this bipartisan legislation.

But he must gavel the Senate back into session to pass the bipartisan, House-passed universal background checks legislation immediately."

"We've seen it before:

An awful shooting occurs. @realDonaldTrump expresses interest in helping.

Republicans try to get him off the hook with lesser measures. Nothing happens.

There is a simple answer: Sen McConnell must put the House-passed background check bill up for a vote."
