John,
Senate Democrats are holding the Senate floor tonight demanding that Majority Leader Mitch McConnell call a vote on the House-passed universal background checks legislation. We cannot accept GOP delay or inaction while Americans continue to die from gun violence every day.
The Democratic House did their job—they passed a bill that requires background checks for every gun purchase in the United States. Now it’s time for the Senate to act. So we’re calling on Leader McConnell to stop standing in the way and bring this bill to the Senate floor for a vote.
Are you with us in the fight for universal background checks, John? Add your name now.
The overwhelming majority of Americans support universal background checks because they understand that commonsense gun safety reform will keep our families safe and save countless innocent lives. So why is the GOP refusing to take action? This is a complete and total failure of leadership—and the consequences are devastating.
We cannot afford to let up in this fight. Americans are counting on us to pass this bill and Senate Democrats are doing everything we can because we know that peoples’ lives are on the line.
My best,
Dick Durbin
