I hope you’ll call your Congresspeople tomorrow at 202 224 3121, the Congressional switchboard. Tell them you want them to support HR8 to expand background checks, close gun show loopholes and more. If Repubs filibuster, which they will, let the whole world watch them do it.

Background checks are not enough. I want a total military assault weapons ban. The general public does not need an AR 15. Let them join the military if they want to play with guns. Someone has to be the adult in the room and say no to all of the nutcases.

I agree. But we need to do what we can do

Or #Democrats could just eliminate the filibuster instead of continuing to protect it while they still have the majority.

It’s unbelievable that they won’t, particular considering that the Republicans surely will once they have power again. Or they could do a carve out just for this one issue.

Closing the gun show loophole would not have prevented any of the recent mass shootings. This gesture is for what exactly? Why don't we focus on why this kid wasn't on someone's radar even though he had obvious mental issues.

Why are you protecting gun manufacturer profits? I just don’t get it

I support gun control for government. Banning government from having guns means no more taxes since taxes are enforced through government violence. That means no more of being forced to fund public schools, social programs, or any other leftist program. Woohoo!!

There is no gun show loophole... That is just a talking point from people who never purchased a firearm in their entire life...

Why not call to ask them to pass a law requiring armed guards and single points of entry for all public school entrances?

This bill would have done nothing to stop the Uvalde tragedy.
