“Senate Majority Leader Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) says he will discuss the Senate’s plan for addressing gun violence with Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and other colleagues in the wake of mass shootings in Boulder and Atlanta.
Schumer says his preference is to focus on legislation to expand background checks for gun sales, though he isn’t ruling out additional legislation to limit the sale of high-capacity magazines and assault-style weapons.”

“The House passed two gun control measures earlier this month: a proposal to require background checks for all gun sales and transfers and a second to give the FBI more time to conduct background checks of people who are flagged by the national instant check system.
But the legislation is already running into trouble in the Senate, where centrist Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) has raised concerns.”

“Asked about Manchin’s comments, Schumer repeated, “I’m going to sit down with Murphy and others and we’re going to figure out the best path forward.”
“We will put these bills on the floor. I’ve said that and it will happen,” he added.”

“But the Democratic leader hasn’t spelled out the floor agenda for the work period scheduled for when the Senate returns in mid-April after a two-week Easter and Passover recess.
Asked if gun control legislation would come to the floor in April, Schumer said, “There’s a whole lot of things that we want to do.”

“We still have a lot of sub-Cabinet people to confirm, we have judges to confirm, we have a lot of bipartisan legislation that’s being talked about,” he said. “And we have a lot of bills that came over from the House that we want to put on the floor and get votes on and hopefully pass them.”
But Schumer promised there will be a gun violence debate on the floor sometime soon.”
