Congress could start a push for universal background check legislation as soon as this month.
Democrats control the House, Senate, and White House, making passage more likely than in past years.
But it will be a tougher fight for passage in the Senate, where Republicans can still filibuster.
A small troop of House Democrats marched across the Capitol on November 20, 2019, to GOP leader Mitch McConnell s office. They demanded the passage of HR 8, otherwise known as the Bipartisan Background Checks Act of 2019.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, joined by fellow Democrats, the bill s lead sponsor Rep. Mike Thompson of California, anti-gun violence activist Rep. Lucy McBath of Georgia, and several others carried a large sign demanding then-Majority Leader McConnell take up the bill. The measure had passed the House that February only to languish for more than 260 days with no action from the Senate.

The fatal shooting at a medical clinic in Buffalo last week is reigniting anxiety about hospital safety and raising new concerns about how best to deal with irate patients vowing violence.
At Hennepin Healthcare s Whittier Clinic in south Minneapolis, a group of staffers convened the day after the shooting to share their concerns about safety from outside threats. It s stressful, said Ursula Reynoso, program supervisor of Aqui Para Ti, an office within the clinic for Latino youths and their families. Anything that happens anywhere with any type of violence, we think something else could never happen in Whittier.
