Policy buzzwords like #UniversalBackgroundChecks can create confusion and unintended consequences for FFLs. ❗️Here’s the reality: FFLs already run background checks on every commercial firearm sale. But enforcing checks on every private transfer would require a national gun
Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA) responds to Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) saying “we’re not gonna fix” school shootings following the Nashville mass shooting: “Democrats have a different view. Instead of wasting time on political stunts like H.R. 1, let’s pass universal background checks.”
Most Americans have wanted an #AssaultWeaponsBan for decades. Most of us support #UniversalBackgroundChecks. Senate Republicans just voted it down - again. Why do Republicans defy our Right to #ProtectOurOwnLives? #DemVoice1
I agree #BanningBooks is stupid and it might sound like a good idea to ban some firearms, BUT it's not #Constitutional & secondly it's not practical. However, closing loopholes in checks by requiring #UniversalBackgroundChecks is widely accepted as a good starting point to some
Just as a reminder, kids are not dying in fucking mass readings. We need to be banning guns not books.
I signed into law the most significant gun safety reform in nearly three decades. But Congress must do more. Let’s pass universal background checks, eliminate immunity for gun manufacturers, and ban assault weapons.
Americans support an #AssaultWeaponsBan and #UniversalBackgroundChecks. Republicans in Congress proved they will not protect us. We must give President Biden/VP Harris a #USCongress willing to #ProtectTheAmericanPeople. Give them #TheCongressTheyNeed. They’ve Earned It.
Fuck this guy. Fuck all lawmakers who know the right thing to do and refuse. #BanAssaultWeapons #RedFlagLaws #UniversalBackgroundChecks #AgeRestrictions #Limit #insurance
REPORTER: "Do you think there's any role for congress to play in reaction [to the Tennessee shooting]?" BURCHETT: "I don't see any real role that we could do other than mess things up."

Here’s the moment that Senate Republicans blocked the assault weapons ban when I put it on the Senate floor. The American people are sick and tired of enduring one mass shooting after another. Senate Democrats will not stop working to pass this bill.
Chris Murphy threatens #SCOTUS with "Popular Revolt" if they don't take AR15s off the streets & pass #UniversalBackgroundChecks. Does he not know only Congress can do this (but has chosen not to)? #BruenDecision #2ndAmendment #ShallNotBeInfringed youtu.be/9I85DgsvhMI?t=…

UPDATE: A 14-year-old girl is being charged in connection with the shooting. cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/new…
Welcome to the new school year in America. #BanAssaultWeaponsHighCapacityMagazines #UniversalBackgroundChecks #NoImmunityForGunManufacturers
More good news: the Biden administration moved yesterday to close loopholes in the background check system—a step toward safer communities! #gunviolenceprevention #gunsafety #universalbackgroundchecks #progressive #uspolitics
It’s Time for Serious #GunControl @HouseGOP @SenateGOP !! We Must Ensure #UniversalBackgroundChecks #BanAssaultWeapons & #BanHighCapacityMagazines !! STOP MASS SLAUGHTERS NOW!! @HouseDemocrats @SenateDems @POTUS @VP @SenSchumer @RepJeffries
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) says the Senate is going to make another attempt to pass gun control legislation in response to a new round of mass shootings. trib.al/018yjLN
This tweet was from before the shooting. We don't know all the details yet. But maybe with #universalbackgroundchecks and common sense #gunreform, nobody would have been shot today.
I want to ban assault weapons and require universal background checks. Trump promised the NRA that he’d do nothing about guns. And he means it.
Hell yes let’s get this done #UniversalBackgroundChecks #VoteBlueDamnit
Anti-gunners know if they flip the House and keep the Senate, they can shove universal background checks, an ""Assault Weapons"" ban, and Red Flag gun confiscation laws down our throats. We CANNOT let that happen! Add your name to support our 2A defenders. ⬇️
After losing my father to gun violence when I was 24, I dedicated my life to fighting for gun safety in our communities, both in Congress and through my work at @Giffords_org. In the Senate, I’ll fight to keep our communities safe.
To the right....do the right thing and ask for an #AssaultWeaponsBan enact #FederalRedFlag enforce #UniversalBackgroundChecks mandate #TwoDayWaitingPeriod fund #MentalHealthSupport If you don't you're just as culpable as the shooters that have took countless lives over n over
If Republicans ram through the SAVE Act and turn voter registration into a scavenger hunt for birth certificates, passports, and affidavits, fine. Own it. Put your name on every grandma and nursing aide you knock off the rolls. But in a few years, when Democrats have the votes
I agree w/ you partially. The #2A needs updating. BTW, #2A is about a well regulated MILITIA, not just self-defense. Read it. I said #UniversalBackgroundChecks. People (felons maybe) can buy firearms in USA at gun shows or private sales or with ghost buyers WITHOUT any checks.
I see now. Dems 'anti-firearms' agenda must be the reason Dem politicians continuously 'bring a knife to a gun fight?' 😆 #UniversalBackgroundChecks are logical. MOST Americans agree. It's not a cure all. Dems SUCK at 'messaging' (knife) while GOP nukes ANYTHING regarding #2A
@GOP is bought & paid for by @NRA, strengthens power of gangs & drug cartels, claims to be #ProLife but refuse to make basic safeguards like #UniversalBackgroundChecks the law. Felon @POTUS defends criminals, lawless, liars, traitors.
Nice try, but #RedFlagLaws and background checks work, and they apply to all firearms. #UniversalBackgroundChecks
QUESTION FOR GROK: How many #RedStates require #UniversalBackgroundChecks to own a gun? GROK ANSWER: Universal background checks—requiring checks for all gun sales, including private ones beyond federal rules for licensed dealers—are in place in 21 states plus the District of
If only Republicans would grow a spine & pass real gun safety legislation!!! #BanAssaultWeapons #UniversalBackgroundChecks
The tourniquets that are going in my kids’ bullet-resistant backpacks came today. I had them take courses on stop the bleed already. 2025 America.
So what do you think are the solutions. I think #UniversalBackgroundChecks #BanAssaultWeapons Stonger gun laws..
Exactly as I said earlier. Transgender people are about 0.003% of the US population. What about all the "domestic" abusers of women who have permitless access to guns in 25 U.S. states? How about tackling THAT problem??? #UniversalBackgroundChecks #EndFemicideEverywhere
So...Republicans don't care about the 2nd amendment. They are totally fine with folks that have domestic abuse and severe mental illness to have guns but folks who are transgender....that's a hard line for them.
So, now Trump wants to ban transgender people from owning guns. Meanwhile, at least 25 states have permitless open carry! How many "domestic" abusers are in permitless possession of guns in the US??? What's ACTUALLY needed are #UniversalBackgroundChecks as in Canada! #EndVAW
Crazy people kill children. Crazy people have too much access to automatic weapons. Being trans has nothing to do with being a killer. Every other school shooting was done by a straight man. The problem is the guns dumbasses. #UniversalBackgroundChecks #AssaultWeaponsBan
#UniversalBackgroundChecks #BanAssaultStyleGuns #RequireLicences #NoConcealedCarry #EmergencyRiskOrders There are SO many things Americans cd do to reduce gun violence and stop these terrible school shootings! Do you hear me, #DeathSantis, @MarcoRubio, @GregAbbott_TX @tedcruz?
Loose Republican gun laws lead to today’s massacre in Minneapolis, just like in Uvalde. The carnage will not stop until we have basic, common sense gun safety laws in place.
It won't stop all mass shootings. But it will stop some. Possibly many. #UniversalBackgroundChecks #BanAutomaticWeapons #FederalGunPurchaseWaitingPeriod
Universal background checks save lives and are supported by a supermajority of voters, but GOP Congress prevents a vote on the floor of the House and Senate. #firearmsafety #universalbackgroundchecks
#UniversalBackgroundChecks #BanHighCapacityMagazines #RedFlagLaws …save our children 💜
It’s been over a YEAR since @HouseDemocrats passed #HR8, Universal Background Checks for all gun purchases. Congress has the power to save American lives, but @LeaderMcConnell still refuses to schedule a vote. Call your US Senator and demand a vote on #universalbackgroundchecks
Saw @kenbielicki at #NRAprotest who came with other @KatyDemocrats, who, like me, want Congress to pass #UniversalBackgroundChecks & #RedFlagLaws @texasdemocrats @txruralvoices @MCDPTexas @TcbdCounty @CypressTomball @harrisdemocrats @Harrisyds
We need to declare our independence from gun violence. Congress has the power to #EndGunViolence and they must act. Let’s start with #universalbackgroundchecks, a complete ban on #AssaultWeapons @MomsDemand @GiffordsCourage @Everytown HOLD THEM ACCOUNTABLE
Today we took action writing post cards for @SenRickScott and @marcorubio from @MomsDemand We wanted to remind you that #UniversalBackgroundChecks and #RedFlagLaws save lives. We are counting on you. #expectus #flapol
Universal background checks save lives and are supported by a supermajority of voters, but GOP Congress prevents a vote on the floor of the House and Senate. #firearmsafety #universalbackgroundchecks
People are LITERALLY DYING while the @SenateGOP sits on its hands! Today a @GOP senator blocked consideration of #UniversalBackgroundChecks as @SenBlumenthal was informed of the #santaclaritashooting... Had enough? Remember this when it's time to vote 🧡 @MomsDemand
209 days ago we passed #HR8 to require #UniversalBackgroundChecks for all firearm purchases—a policy over 90% of Americans support. @SenateMajLdr has done nothing with #HR8 while countless Americans die from gun violence. It's time for the Senate to take action! #DoSomething
“Virginians are tired of the status quo in the General Assembly”. ⬇️ That’s right! 🙌🏼 Time to vote for Gun Sense champions like @sheilaforva !! Vote- Nov. 5th ✅ #universalbackgroundchecks #VALeg
It's time to call on Ohio House Speaker Householder and Senate President Obhof to hold hearings and votes on gun safety legislation pending in the Ohio legislature. Send an email at: actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-o… #DoSomethingOhio #UniversalBackgroundChecks #OHLeg
No biggie, just our awesome @RepThompson making surprise pop-in to our first Martinez @MomsDemand meeting! He showed off his #WearOrange socks that he’s wearing until @senatemajldr does his job and puts #UniversalBackgroundChecks to a vote!
My taxi driver in London yesterday upon hearing my accent. Cabbie: “America is crazy, isn’t it? I mean, you only have to look at their gun laws to know.” #GunSafetyNow #UniversalBackgroundChecks #RedFlagLaws #BanAssaultWeapons
This “For Sale” sign was in the window of Mitch McConnell’s house after @GAGnoguns passed by. 🤷🏼♀️🌈 #MassacreMitch Over 30,000 people have died while @senatemajldr has held up #GunSafety bills including #UniversalBackgroundChecks #AssaultWeaponsBan #RedFlagLaws #GunLawsSaveLives
Enough is enough. The Senate has an opportunity to take real action on reducing gun violence with the @SenRonLatz amendment. #mnleg #universalbackgroundchecks
NJ @MomsDemand is grateful for the leadership of our @RepSherrill! She believes in uniting us all for the greater good of America. She cosponsored HR8 and understands why Congress need to act and pass #UniversalBackgroundChecks! Thank U for standing on the right side of history!
Senator @ChrisMurphyCT was on the Senate floor demanding a vote #HR8 for #UniversalBackgroundChecks At almost the exact moment news broke of the shooting in California, he was making the motion to vote. It was blocked by Senator @CindyHydeSmith (R-MS) #santaclaritashooting
