Politician
March 11, 2021
Tweet - "96% of gun background checks are completed within 3 business days. The #CharlestonLoophole bill would allow the FBI additional time to complete the remaining 4% of background checks to ensure firearms don't fall into the wrong hands."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 11, 2021
Tweet - "Over 90% of Americans support expanding background checks. #HR8 will do just that. It's time to put an end to gun violence and take these vital steps to ensure our communities are safe."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 11, 2021
Tweet - "Since 1998, the Charleston Loophole has put over 75,000 guns into the hands of prohibited gun owners. We must fix the #CharlestonLoophole to keep these weapons from falling into the wrong hands!"
Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 11, 2021
Tweet - "In 2019, almost 3,000 guns were sold to prohibited purchasers after the 3 day waiting period. The #CharlestonLoophole bill would allow the FBI more time to run background checks so we can stop prohibited gun owners from slipping through the cracks."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 11, 2021
Majority Whip Clyburn Remarks on House Passage of Two Background Checks Bills
Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 10, 2021
Tweet - "I look at this legislation & I see it being targeted. One report yesterday said this program of doing more for Black farmers than anything since the 1964 Civil Rights Act. This legislation targets children who need to get back in school. That's targeting to me."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 10, 2021
Tweet - "I don't know why Republicans are trying to misrepresent what we're trying to do here. Nobody is keeping a gun away, but everybody should be able to wait 30 days. I ask the other side, is a wait of 30 days worth the death of nine unsuspecting souls? That alone should be enough."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 10, 2021
Enhanced Background Checks Act of 2021
Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 9, 2021
Tweet - "I think it is very clear, if we can make an exception to the filibuster rules for budgets, we ought to be able to make it for any civil or voting right that exists. If the President wants to keep the filibuster, fine, but let's do away w/ it for civil rights and voting rights."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 9, 2021
The Right of the People to Keep and Bear Arms Shall Not Be Infringed
Rep. Ralph Norman
March 7, 2021
Tweet - "Today marks the first time we are recognizing the anniversary of Bloody Sunday without my good friend, John Lewis. 56 years ago, he and others marched across the Edmund Pettus Bridge and were greeted with violence. Today, we continue their fight for a more perfect union."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 4, 2021

Mace Opposes Democrats' Effort to Nationalize Elections
Rep. Nancy Mace
March 3, 2021
Tweet - "Blacks in America know all too well the pain of voter suppression and police brutality; our nation has been plagued by racial inequities since its founding. Today, House Democrats voted to repair these longstanding faults that strip power and justice from communities of color."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 3, 2021
Mace Rejects Democrats' Attempts to Defund Police
Rep. Nancy Mace

Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 1, 2021
Tweet - "Enacting common-sense gun control is a priority for @potus & this Democratic Congress. A large majority of Americans-including gun owners-support universal background checks. We need to keep weapons out of the hands of those who shouldn't have them & save lives."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 1, 2021
Tribute for the 60th Anniversary of the Edwards V. South Carolina March
Rep. Jim Clyburn
Feb. 28, 2021
Tweet - "It's been 2 years since the House passed my bill to fix the #CharlestonLoophole. In 2015, a shooter took 9 innocent lives b/c he obtained a gun despite having an incomplete background check--which he would have failed. It's time to finally enact common sense gun legislation."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
Feb. 27, 2021
Tweet - "Two years ago, the House passed the Bipartisan Background Checks Act. For two years McConnell refused to allow a vote on it. Gun reform is common sense. Democrats will fight to get it signed into law."
Rep. Jim Clyburn
Feb. 26, 2021

Rep. Ralph Norman, ...
Feb. 25, 2021

Rep. Jim Clyburn
Feb. 25, 2021
