More than 150 days later, it remains individually blocked by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Schumer and King agree that Leader McConnell should immediately allow the Senate to vote on the legislation that would enact universal background checks on all gun purchases, an urgently-needed action necessary to address the scourge of gun violence plaguing America. The Senator and the Congressman made the case for this vote to occur at a local Walmart, citing how these kinds of mass shootings can happen anywhere, and urging Leader McConnell to allow for debate and a vote.</p>"}}
