We need to act now. That was Valley Congressman Tim Ryan's message during his time on MSNBC Sunday after two mass shootings, which were less than 24 hours apart.
During his appearance, Ryan said he's suspending his presidential campaign to return to Ohio. He says we need leadership right now.
The presidential hopeful said no one feels safe anymore and called for lawmakers to put pressure on Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to cancel the chamber's August recess, so they can work on passing legislation dealing with universal background checks.
"Republicans need to, quite frankly, get their s**t together and stop pandering to the NRA because people are getting killed," Ryan said.
According to Ryan, the House of Representatives passed legislation last week, dealing with the requirement of background checks on gun owners.
He says the pressure needs to be put on McConnell to get it through the Senate.
"All those people we saw. They had hopes and dreams. They had plans this week. They were going to do things. They were going to meet with their friends. They were going to meet with family. They were going to go to church, and now they're gone because in this country we're so dysfunctional that we can't do basic things and it's got to stop," Ryan said.
The congressman joins a list of other Democrats who are pushing for new legislation, including Democratic Senator Sherrod Brown.
