'The House did its job. Now the Senate must vote on the Assault Weapons Ban. No hiding. Put the Republicans on record.'
Studies have shown clear links between the expiration of the assault weapons ban and mass shootings. Research published in 2021 by Northwestern Universitythat 10 mass shootings were likely prevented over the 10 years it was in place and that 30 mass shootings which have happened since then could have been prevented, and 339 lives could have been saved, by a ban.
As Rep. Pramila Jayapal , chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus , noted after the House's passage, a 2019 study"Now, the Senate must heed President Biden's call to get this vital legislation to his desk, and take up this bill without delay," JayapalSome gun control advocates joined the call for the Senate to pass the bill, while others including former Democratic Ohio state Sen.
"Leader [Chuck] Schumer needs to get his caucus in line and if not, make Manchin and Sinema go on record that they're okay with children being slaughtered," said Turner."Enough is enough." Kai Newkirk, co-founder of a campaign to fund a future primary challenger to Sinema if she continues to stand in the way of her own party's agenda, agreed that senators from both parties must be forced to go on the record on gun control and the steps they will—or won't—take to make sure it passes.
