John, you can stop looking.

There is nothing in the U.S. Constitution that says the Senate can only
act on important legislation if the president promises to sign it. So when
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says he won't take up background
checks and other gun safety measures until President Trump says it's OK,
that is an unacceptable excuse.

The vast majority of Americans want the Senate to act on gun safety.
McConnell's excuses are unacceptable. Simply put, there are no excuses for
inaction.

[ [link removed] ]Help us keep the pressure on the Senate by sending a message to
McConnell and your Senators today urging them to pass strong gun safety
laws.

[ [link removed] ]TAKE ACTION

The House of Representatives is doing its part: It passed a number of
bipartisan measures to reduce gun violence, including background checks on
all gun sales.

In America, 100 people are shot and killed every day, and hundreds more
are wounded. It's not just the headline-grabbing mass shootings like El
Paso and Dayton, it's the daily toll of death, injury and loss that
affects so many Americans.

John, the Senate doesn't need a permission slip from the
president to take action to protect Americans. It's time for the Senate to
do its job and pass background checks on all gun sales and a strong red
flag law.

Thank you for all you do to end the epidemic of gun violence in our
country.
