The shooting renewed calls for a congressional response to gun violence.In remarks on the Senate floor, Schumer indicated that the chamber might not soon vote on two House-passed background check bills, in apparent acknowledgment the bills could not clear the chamber's 60-vote filibuster threshold.
Schumer said that although he believes"accountability votes" are important, he would not soon hold a doomed-to-fail vote on the bills, arguing the people know where their senators stand on gun legislation. In reference to the November elections, Schumer said,"Americans can make a choice" against Republicans'"guns at all costs doctrine."
