It's been a whole year since the House passed the Bipartisan Background Checks Act. Day after day, week after week, people are dying of gun violence – including yesterday in Milwaukee – & still @SenateMajLdr won’t hold a vote on a bill 90% of Americans support. It's shameful.
Why won’t @SenateMajLdr hold a vote on universal background checks? Corruption, plain & simple. Senator McConnell is too scared of the @NRA & their army of lobbyists & lawyers to act. The @SenateGOP needs to show some political courage & stop blocking a vote on this bill.
Let's get real: background checks are the very least we can do to keep our kids & communities safe from gun violence. We should be doing a lot more. That’s why I’ve got an #EndGunViolenceBill that combines & builds upon Congress’s best gun safety proposals in 1 big, bold bill. 
Two years ago today, 17 students, teachers, & faculty members were killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland. Today we remember, we mourn, & we honor their memory by fighting for gun safety policies to protect our children.
Two weeks ago, @RepHankJohnson & I introduced big, bold legislation that combines & builds upon Congress’s best gun safety proposals in one comprehensive bill to keep our schools & communities safer. I’m deeply grateful for @AMarch4OurLives' support of our #EndGunViolenceBill.
No student should have to fear going to school. No parent should have to fear their child won’t be coming home. Congress must show some political courage & stand up to the gun lobby so tragedies like Parkland never happen again.
Our gun violence epidemic is a public health emergency—and we need to make big, structural changes if we want to end it. So today, I introduced the #EndGunViolenceBill in the Senate to confront this crisis head on. bostonglobe.com/2020/01/30/nat…
The #EndGunViolenceBill is supported by @NAACP, @GiffordsCourage, @AMarch4OurLives, @NewtownAction, @StopHandguns, and gun violence prevention, civil rights, public health, and community organizations across the country.
We know that a small group of corrupt extremists will do everything they can to stop this bill. That's why I've also got a plan to root out the corruption in Washington. Together, we can end the gun violence epidemic that is devastating our communities. elizabethwarren.com/plans/gun-viol…
Approximately 3000 Americans died of gun violence this month. 100 people a day, every day. It’s long past time for Congress to stand up to the gun lobby & confront this crisis head-on. @RepHankJohnson & I have a new bill for that. #EndGunViolenceBill warren.senate.gov/newsroom/press…
My big, bold Gun Violence Prevention and Community Safety Act with @RepHankJohnson combines & builds upon Congress’s best common-sense gun safety legislation for one comprehensive bill to protect our kids & keep our communities safer. #EndGunViolenceBill
