NEW: House Dems pressuring Schumer on guns
They. Want. Senate. Votes.
Broad group led by @RepSpanberger, @RepJoeNeguse. Letter to Schumer, obtained by @Newshour says, "We worked to gain majorities in the House + Senate so we could bring consequential ... legislation to a vote."

@RepSpanberger @RepJoeNeguse @NewsHour Schumer has pledged to hold gun votes, but has not said when.
But this broad coalition (mods and progressives) in the House is not sitting back and waiting.
They see a rising gun violence problem now and are fearful of Senate delay.
They at least want senators on record.

GUN LETTER MORE: It's an amazing letter in some ways. The kind of thing Pelosi might have said or written to a slow- or no-action Mitch McConnell in a Republican-run Senate.
"The American people expect action, and the Senate must act," these Dems wrote to the Senate Dem leader.

Guns: One other note.
I'm told this push from House Dems is esp. led by members of the 2018 class.
They still have a fired-up spirit about DC being too slow on big issues ... and they are still tight as a group.
And even with 2020 losses, they are still massive.
