Parkland survivor @davidhogg111 to Democrats: "if you say you support gun violence prevention legislation, you get elected on that and you do nothing about it, I don’t see you as any better than the NRA... people are dying because of your inaction." nbcnews.com/politics/biden…
The frustration on guns is palpable, even among Democratic senators. "We don't have an operating majority in the Senate," @ChrisMurphyCT tells me, adding that it's "hard to explain" to normal people why the party has the trifecta and isn't taking action. nbcnews.com/politics/biden…
Nearly a year ago, @SenSchumer promised Senate votes on gun background checks. This week he conceded bipartisan negotiations on it have “not gotten that far.”
“But we’re going to keep pursuing background checks. I believe in that very, very strongly.”
