1/ I really appreciate this statement from @POTUS on the tragic mass shooting in Indiana.
I know this issue is a priority for @POTUS & entire White House.
But I think this statement is missing a line like this: “I will actively engage with Congress to get this done THIS YEAR”

@POTUS 2/ I say this b/c that's what @POTUS promised us on the campaign trail.
He didn't run on urging the Senate to act, he ran on brining lawmakers together to get big things done -- including on gun reform.

@POTUS 3/ I'm asking him to live up to those promises & to treat gun violence reform w/ the same priority & engagement that he treated COVID & now infrastructure
@POTUS 4/ @POTUS ran for office arguing his years of experience in DC taught him how to “bring Democrats and Republicans together in the United States Congress to pass big things, to deal with big issues"
That's why Americans elected him & why he's been successful w/ Covid relief etc

@POTUS 5/ @POTUS ran on one of the most comprehensive gun violence reform plans in history and he repeatedly said that he will actively engage on the issue...
@POTUS 6/ @JoeBiden from 2/2020:
“Every day that we do nothing about this epidemic of assault weapons... is an insult and innumerable lives across this nation that have been forever shattered by this violence. As President, I promise you I will get these weapons of war off the street"

@POTUS @JoeBiden 7/ More from 2/2020:
“I promise them and I promise all of you I will make this promise today to those families hurting across the country, I will never, never give up this fight.….I promise you I will not rest until we beat these guys.”

@POTUS @JoeBiden 8/ Look, @POTUS has taken *very strong and important initial steps* to address gun violence.
He has included a historic $5B investment in community violence intervention programs in his jobs plan.
Thank you, Mr. President

@POTUS @JoeBiden 9/ But we also need legislative reform & investment to save lives....and to get that, we need your direct leadership and engagement -- just like Covid, infrastructure, climate etc... That's why I'm calling on you to publicly prioritize legislative action on gun reform THIS YEAR
