'It seems like everyday there's another shooting. This isn't normal. It's time our elected officials do something about it.'
The national gun control group Everytown For Gun Safety has called on Mitch McConnell and other prominent Republicans to stand up to the gun lobby in a new series of emotional advertisements.
"It seems like everyday there's another shooting. This isn't normal. It's time our elected officials do something about it," the ad says."Tell Mitch McConnell to stand up to the gun lobby and pass bipartisan background check and red flag laws to keep guns away from people who pose a danger to our communities."
"The American people want action on gun violence, and we're saying so in a voice loud enough for every senator to hear," John Feinblatt, president of Everytown, said in a statement."We're unleashing the full power of our grassroots movement and leading our most aggressive August spending effort ever, to ensure the Senate gets the message and passes background checks and a strong federal 'red flag' law.
Activists hold signs while demonstrating outside the office of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell on August 6, 2019 in Louisville, Kentucky. Everytown, a gun control group, is running ads urging McConnell and other Republican lawmakers to support background checks and red flag laws.The Senate majority leader has also not allowed a vote on gun control legislation that was passed by the Democratic-controlled House earlier this year.
