Survivors of gun violence and families of victims whose lives were taken in mass shootings are taking Senate Democrats to task for failing to champion pending legislation to address gun violence.
The effort is aimed at Democrats who are "self-proclaimed champions" of gun control, especially 2020 presidential candidates.
The group faults the Democratic senators for not delivering floor speeches, let alone trying to advance the legislation through the Judiciary Committee. The House bills would tighten U.S. laws, including requiring background checks on all commercial gun sales, including those at gun shows and over the internet.
Sen. Mitch McConnell, the Republican leader, is highly unlikely to allow the bill to come for a vote and President Trump has vowed to veto it should it ever pass.
