Ahead of today's mark up on gun safety legislation:

Senator @maziehirono: "There are 100 deaths every day in U.S. from gun violence; we have a president who lies every single day and surrounds himself with yes men, including, apparently, @senatemajldr Mitch McConnell."
"At a time when a country is so deeply divided, one issue, 90% agree – we need universal background checks.
I asked McConnell. He’s saying he must wait for the president to tell him what to do. Wait? This is the president that changes his mind from moment to moment, day to day,"
"This is a person we are going to wait on rather than acting like a separate branch of gvmt? Rather than pass H.R. 8.? This is very typical of Mitch McConnell.
This happened on DACA, the shutdown. Now where 90% of Americans support background checks, he’s doing it o guns safety.
"We’re telling Mitch McConnell do your job, pass H.R. 8 in Senate. We should not see 100 more people die in our country every single day. " - @maziehirono
