THREAD: Today marks one year since the House passed #HR8, a bill requiring a background check for every gun sale.
In the year Mitch McConnell has refused a vote in the Senate, 40,000 people have been shot and killed.
I want you to hear a few of their stories. It's important.

2/ In March 2019, 1 month after #HR8 got to the Senate, Shelby Verderosa was home with her six-month-old daughter when she was shot and killed in Phoenix. As a new mom Shelby "was doing everything she possibly could to make sure her daughter had the best life," said her cousin. 
3/ Lamar Sharp was at a picnic in Kansas City in April, two months after #HR8 got to the Senate, when he heard gunshots. Instead of running toward safety, he ran to save his friend's two-year-old grandson and was shot three times. He died five days before his 32nd birthday.
