March 11, 2021 Tweet - "FBI analysis of the current background check system shows that 3 business days isn't always enough time to decide if someone shouldn't be allowed to own a gun. The #CharlestonLoophole bill gives them the time they need to conduct a thorough investigation." Rep. Jim Clyburn
March 11, 2021 Tweet - "I am emotional today for the families and friends of the Emanuel Nine, several of who were my constituents. They have been waiting for years to see the "Charleston loophole' closed. Today's vote moves us one step closer to making gun ownership safer." 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 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 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.

Feb. 28, 2021 Tweet - "It's been 2 years since the House passed my bill to fix the #CharlestonLoophole.

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

Oct. 27, 2020 Tweet - "Two years ago, worshipers at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh fell victim to gun violence driven by anti-Semitic hate. We must combat hate in all its forms.

Oct. 1, 2020 Tweet - "Today we remember the innocent lives that were lost 3 years ago during a mass shooting in Las Vegas. We cannot continue to ignore gun violence in this country.

Sept. 24, 2020 Tweet - "Today we wear orange masks to urge @senatemajldr McConnell to take up legislation to help end gun violence. The House passed #HR8 575 days ago and #HR1112, my bill to close the Charleston Loophole, one day later. It is time for @SenateGOP to act." Rep. Jim Clyburn
