Hours ago, Uvalde 4th grader Miah Cerrillo testified to Congress that she
smeared her friend’s blood on her body to try to protect herself from the
man who shot and killed 19 of her classmates and 2 teachers with an
assault rifle. ([ [link removed] ]Watch here.)

The distraught parents of Lexi Rubio said this in testimony: "We seek a
ban on assault rifles and high capacity magazines." But the Senate’s not
even considering that.

The Atlantic explains: "Gun control is one of many issues in which
majority opinion in the nation runs into the brick wall of a Senate rule
-- the filibuster."

The math is simple. 48 Democratic senators voted to reform the filibuster
this year. We need 50. Every Democratic candidate in key states supports
this.

In their testimony to Congress, Lexi’s parents acknowledged the reality
that “for some reason, to some people…guns are more important than
children.”

They begged for Congress to at least make progress on compromises such as
raising the age to purchase assault rifles from 18 to 21 years of age, red
flag laws, stronger background checks, and repealing gun manufacturers'
liability immunity.

But just yesterday, the Washington Post reported that while Senate
negotiators try to find any gun reforms that can pass, "an assault weapons
ban, restrictions on high-capacity ammunition magazines, and expansions of
background checks to cover private gun sales -- are not on the table."

A new Politico poll shows that 88% of Americans support requiring
background checks on all gun sales. Just 8% oppose. The same poll shows
that 67% support banning assault-style weapons. Just 25% oppose.

But those tiny minorities right now have the filibuster at their disposal.
Until that changes, the blood of children will continue to flow.
