A Democratic lawmaker is calling on the Senate to act on “common-sense” gun legislation to protect Americans in the wake of a deadly shooting at a Colorado grocery store.

“Victims and the survivors of these tragedies are always going to have my thoughts. They’re always going to have my prayers but my job is to make laws. My job is to try to make better policy to make people’s lives better, to help make people safe and they deserve my action. This isn’t rocket science either,” Rep. Jason Crow (D-Colo.) said during an appearance on CNN’s “New Day” Tuesday.

He continued, “There are common-sense laws and legislation that we can pass that will help make our communities safer. We just have to get them done.”

Crow acknowledged no one can be sure one law or policy is going to prevent a specific shooting but it could make communities “a lot safer.”

Host John Berman asked Crow who is responsible for acting on the two gun control bills passed by the House earlier this month.

“It’s on the Senate. As you said we’ve passed some common-sense legislation in the House. President Biden has said he’s looking for common-sense legislation. There are things he’d be willing to sign into law today if it was put on his desk. It’s sitting in the Senate,” Crow explained.

When asked if it was worth getting rid of the filibuster to pass the legislation, Crow replied, “Yes.”

A gunman opened fire in a grocery store in Colorado on Monday afternoon killing 10 people. The tragedy marks the nation’s second fatal mass shooting in a week.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said on the Senate floor Tuesday, “The Senate is going to debate and address the epidemic of gun violence.”

“The Senate is going to debate and address the epidemic of gun violence,” Schumer vows on the Senate floor, promising to bring a bill forward that would expand universal background checks, though that plan lacks 60 votes to break a filibuster

In a statement following the shooting, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) vowed, “Democrats will keep fighting to end the daily tragedy of gun violence and keep our communities safe.”
