While speaking with reporters Thursday, he claimed Democrats are willing to work with Republicans on the controversial issue.<\/p>\n<p>Schumer said if the GOP tries to block the left\u2019s plans, however, they will push forward regardless. Meanwhile, it appears Democrats in the Senate are actually torn on the background checks debate with Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) stating that the two bills recently passed by the House are taking things a step too far.<\/p>\n<p>Despite this, Schumer asserted Americans want more restrictive gun laws.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a different Senate, we\u2019re going to debate and everyone going to have to vote,\u201d he stated. \u201cWe\u2019re going to figure out, as I said, the best way to make progress and move forward on that.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The Judiciary Committee yesterday heard from witnesses about proposals to reduce gun violence<\/p>\n<p>The stories are heartbreaking<\/p>\n<p>I will put legislation to address gun violence on the floor of the Senate<\/p>\n<p>This Senate will act to address this epidemic<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenSchumer\/status\/1374796095470116869?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 24, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>While some members of the GOP are willing to compromise, the bills passed in the House face a steep battle in the Senate as they would need 10 Republicans to vote in favor.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the gun control legislation is not subject to the \u201creconciliation\u2019 process,\u201d which was used to push through the massive COVID-19 package.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/ill-state-rep-miller-targeted-by-left-over-questioning-election-integrity\/\"> Ill.
