Representative McBath said members of Congress worked across the aisle, to pass several bi-partisan gun safety measures this year.

Those include bills requiring background checks on all gun sales, as well a Strong Red Flag Bill but McBath went on to say, those measures are now stuck in the Senate.

Rep. McBath then urged the public to take action themselves, and call on their senators to move gun safety measures forward.
