(1,4) Just heard a really important discussion regarding gun sales and the increasing murder rate on @Morning_Joe. Thank you to @JoeNBC, @MikaKYV365, @WillieGeist, @TheRevAl & @SteveRattner. Would love to join the next time. Yes, there is a direct correlation between gun 
(2,4) sales and this increase. Those of us who watch this were concerned all through COVID about this surge, for many of the reasons you discussed and others. These guns are often left unlocked or stolen and end up used by others. This is the reason I am also so concerned
(3,4) about the surge in ammo sales. Many prohibited buyers end up with the guns used in crimes and then walk into the store to buy the bullets as no background check required on that. #JaimesLaw would change that.

22 years since Columbine, we still have a serious epidemic of Gun Violence in this country.
The solutions are straightforward but sadly there are still many opponents to change who still push the lies that their rights would end up being infringed on.

Nobody is infringing on anyone’s individual rights. We’re calling for background checks on PEOPLE, not guns. Mandatory Safety courses for PEOPLE, not guns. Stricter negligence penalties for PEOPLE, not guns. This isn’t about just the guns, it’s the people too.

Many law abiding Gun owners are in favor of these reforms. Sadly, the National Rifle Association is lobbying for a status quo that sees countless of American lives lost to what seems to be an endless amount of tragic shootings.

Thank you @ewarren for adding this thoughtful plan to the Presidential conversation on guns. As you may recall from our meeting, my daughter Jaime was a victim of the Parkland shooting. I look forward to hearing your voice in the debate on this issue.

@ewarren, your first bullet point regarding holding gun manufacturers and retailers accountable through executive action is crucial. We must also hold them accountable for the cost of gun violence by having them pay a fee for a national victims compensation fund.
@ewarren, I also would like to suggest you look at #JaimesLaw, already introduced in the house by @DWStweets and Senate by @SenBlumenthal which will extend background checks to ammunition. We need this to deal with the reality of 300,000,000 guns in America today.
