Tweet - "Gun violence is an epidemic in this country. The House has passed not one, but two, gun violence prevention bills, including my bill to close the #CharlestonLoophole. The Senate must get these bills to the President's desk so we can make progress to #EndGunViolence. #WearOrange"

Tweet - "Nearly 6 years after the tragedy at Emanuel AME Church, our nation has yet to take serious action to prevent gun violence. Common sense reform, like my bill to close the #CharlestonLoophole, would protect our communities & save lives. The Senate must act."

Tweet - "On this day three years ago, five journalists tragically lost their lives in a shooting at the Capital Gazette. Inaction on the issue of gun violence cannot continue. The Senate must get House-passed gun violence legislation to President Biden's desk."

|
Tweet - "Today we remember the 23 lives taken and many more impacted by the senseless tragedy in El Paso, Texas 2 years ago. Thoughts and prayers aren't enough. We must protect our communities by taking serious, common sense action to #DisarmHate and #EndGunViolence."

Rep. Jim Clyburn
|
| April 11, 2022
|
Tweet - "I applaud the Biden-Harris Admin for their efforts to address the troubling number of ghost guns in our streets. Homemade firearms are untraceable & just as deadly as any other guns. Serializing them & requiring background checks for gun kits will make our communities safer."

|
Tweet - "Today we remember the 13 lives taken in Littleton, Colorado during the Columbine High School massacre. In the 23 years since, Congress has yet to send legislation to curb the gun violence epidemic to the President's desk. The House has done its part. The Senate must act now."

Tweet - "Today @HouseDemocrats joined together to denounce the white supremacist violence in our communities and honor the memories of those lost in Buffalo, NY. The tragedy in Buffalo echoes the 2015 shooting at Mother Emanuel AME Church. Hatred is destructive and we must combat it."

Tweet - "There are no words that can ease the indescribable pain and devastation the families and the community in Uvalde are experiencing. 21 innocent lives and counting. 19 children. How many do we have to lose before the Senate is willing to act?"

Rep. Jim Clyburn
|
| June 2, 2022
|
Tweet - "Proud @HouseJudiciary is working to advance this comprehensive gun violence prevention package. If nearly all R's continue to sit on their hands while children are dying, Americans will clearly see who's fighting to protect our kids--and who's fighting to leave them unprotected."

Tweet - "Today, on National Gun Violence Awareness Day, Americans across the country are wearing orange to remember the lives lost to gun violence every year. But, wearing orange is not enough. The Senate must join the House in passing common-sense legislation to protect our communities."

|
| June 8, 2022
|
Tweet - "Firearms were the leading cause of death for American children in 2020. Today, the House will vote on the #ProtectingOurKidsAct to reduce the gun violence in our communities and ensure our kids can grow up to realize their bright futures. Action is long overdue."

Rep. Jim Clyburn
|
| June 8, 2022
|
Tweet - "A child smearing a classmate's blood on themselves to hide from a shooter, a little girl identifiable only by her bright green sneakers -- these are the kind of stories the @SenateGOP has decided we must live with by refusing to act on House-passed gun violence prevention bills."
|
Rep. Jim Clyburn
|
| June 9, 2022
|
Tweet - "If there is good reason to believe someone poses a threat, they should not have access to firearms. Today, the House passed a federal red flag law, which would establish a process by which individuals determined to be dangerous are prevented from having these deadly weapons."

Rep. Jim Clyburn
|
| June 10, 2022
|
Tweet - "Just weeks after Buffalo & Uvalde, most House R's voted against bills to: - Enact a federal red flag law - Raise the age to buy semiautomatic rifles - Bolster gun trafficking laws, and more. @HouseDemocrats are working to protect our communities. Who is @HouseGOP working for?"

|
| June 17, 2022

| Dec. 14, 2020
|
Tweet - "8 years ago 26 innocent children & adults were gunned down at Sandy Hook Elementary School. Last year the House passed bipartisan legislation taking steps to #EndGunViolence. The Senate can't continue to ignore the gun violence crisis in this country. It's time for them to act."

Rep. Jim Clyburn

Tweet - "The images and firsthand accounts emerging from Highland Park, Illinois are gut-wrenching. What should have been a joyous day of celebration was shattered by a hateful act of gun violence. Congress must do more to protect our communities."

Rep. Jim Clyburn
|
| July 7, 2022
|
Tweet - "Gun violence has a deadly hold on our nation. The Gun Violence Archive has counted over 300 mass shootings this year--including the horrifying tragedy in Highland Park. I recently spoke with @RepLucyMcBath about the fight to end this epidemic."

Rep. Jim Clyburn
|
| July 8, 2022
|
Tweet - "In 2020-21, >1M NICS background checks were incomplete after 3 business days; then guns could be legally sold. It's how the Emanuel AME shooter got a gun. My bill to close this loophole passed the House. The Senate must send it to the President's desk."
|
Rep. Jim Clyburn
|
| July 11, 2022
|
Tweet - "The Bipartisan #SaferCommunities Act is the most significant piece of gun violence prevention legislation signed into law in decades. This historic bill will save lives and bring us one step closer to ending gun violence in our communities."
|
Rep. Jim Clyburn
|
| July 13, 2022
|
Tweet - "When dealing with an active shooter, law enforcement ought to be able to alert the public quickly and efficiently. The House just passed the Active Shooter Alert Act, which will enable law enforcement to send emergency alerts about nearby active shooters."
|
Rep. Jim Clyburn
|
| Aug. 19, 2022
|
Tweet - "The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act @POTUS signed into law tightens the deadly "boyfriend loophole" to prevent those convicted of domestic violence from buying and owning a gun. This long overdue law will save lives."

Rep. Jim Clyburn
|
| Sept. 7, 2022
|
Tweet - "South Carolina has the 10th highest rate of gun deaths in the United States. That's why @HouseDemocrats passed the Protecting Our Kids Act and the Assault Weapons Ban of 2022. We will always fight to #EndGunViolence and protect our communities."
|
Rep. Jim Clyburn
|
| Sept. 13, 2022
|
Tweet - "The first Assault Weapons Ban was signed into law 28 years ago today. @GiffordsCourage estimates that the ban lowered the likelihood of mass shooting deaths by 70%. The Senate must do its part to send the @HouseDemocrats -passed Assault Weapons Ban to the President's desk."

Rep. Jim Clyburn

| Nov. 20, 2022
|
Tweet - "Horrifying that as we mark #TransDayofRemembrance today, we are met with the news of a deadly shooting targeting the LGBTQ+ community in Colorado Springs. Hate and guns are a lethal mix. We must stamp out hatred and prevent perpetrators of hate crimes from obtaining firearms."

| Nov. 23, 2022
|
Tweet - "I'm horrified by the reports of yet another mass shooting--this time in Chesapeake, VA. My thoughts are with the family and loved ones of those lost in this tragedy, right before the holiday season. We must enact stronger gun violence prevention laws to protect our communities."

Majority Whip Clyburn Remarks on House Passage of Two Background Checks Bills
|
Rep. Jim Clyburn
|
| Feb. 27, 2021
|
Tweet - "Two years ago, the House passed the Bipartisan Background Checks Act. For two years McConnell refused to allow a vote on it. Gun reform is common sense. Democrats will fight to get it signed into law."
|
Rep. Jim Clyburn
|
| Feb. 28, 2021
|
Tweet - "It's been 2 years since the House passed my bill to fix the #CharlestonLoophole. In 2015, a shooter took 9 innocent lives b/c he obtained a gun despite having an incomplete background check--which he would have failed. It's time to finally enact common sense gun legislation."
|
Rep. Jim Clyburn
|
| March 1, 2021
|
Tweet - "Enacting common-sense gun control is a priority for @potus & this Democratic Congress. A large majority of Americans-including gun owners-support universal background checks. We need to keep weapons out of the hands of those who shouldn't have them & save lives."
|
Rep. Jim Clyburn
|
| March 10, 2021
|
Tweet - "I don't know why Republicans are trying to misrepresent what we're trying to do here. Nobody is keeping a gun away, but everybody should be able to wait 30 days. I ask the other side, is a wait of 30 days worth the death of nine unsuspecting souls? That alone should be enough."
|
Rep. Jim Clyburn
|
| March 11, 2021
|
Tweet - "In 2019, almost 3,000 guns were sold to prohibited purchasers after the 3 day waiting period. The #CharlestonLoophole bill would allow the FBI more time to run background checks so we can stop prohibited gun owners from slipping through the cracks."
|
Rep. Jim Clyburn
|
| March 11, 2021
|
Tweet - "Since 1998, the Charleston Loophole has put over 75,000 guns into the hands of prohibited gun owners. We must fix the #CharlestonLoophole to keep these weapons from falling into the wrong hands!"
|
Rep. Jim Clyburn
|
| March 11, 2021
|
Tweet - "96% of gun background checks are completed within 3 business days. The #CharlestonLoophole bill would allow the FBI additional time to complete the remaining 4% of background checks to ensure firearms don't fall into the wrong hands."
|
Rep. Jim Clyburn
|
| March 11, 2021
|
Tweet - "FBI analysis of the current background check system shows that 3 business days isn't always enough time to decide if someone shouldn't be allowed to own a gun. The #CharlestonLoophole bill gives them the time they need to conduct a thorough investigation."
|
Rep. Jim Clyburn
|
| March 11, 2021
|
Tweet - "Over 90% of Americans support expanding background checks. #HR8 will do just that. It's time to put an end to gun violence and take these vital steps to ensure our communities are safe."
|
Rep. Jim Clyburn
|
| March 11, 2021
|
Tweet - "I am emotional today for the families and friends of the Emanuel Nine, several of who were my constituents. They have been waiting for years to see the "Charleston loophole' closed. Today's vote moves us one step closer to making gun ownership safer."
|
Rep. Jim Clyburn
|
| March 12, 2021
|
Tweet - "Yesterday, the House passed my legislation to close the #CharlestonLoophole, moving us one step closer to making gun ownership safer. I hope the Senate will follow our lead and send these lifesaving bills to President Biden's desk to be signed into law."
