Democrats Demand McConnell Reconvene Senate to Vote on Universal Background Checks
Progressive senators on Sunday said they would welcome an opportunity to return to Washington, D.C. in the midst of Congress's August recess, in order to vote on gun control reform following two mass shootings in the course of a day.
Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) and Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio) demanded that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell call the Senate back into session to vote on H.R. 8 and H.R. 1112, the background check bills passed by the Democratic-led House in February. The bills would require background checks on all firearm sales across the country, and strengthen existing checks.
