Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and GOP Rep. Peter King on Tuesday will call on the Senate to vote for House-passed background check legislation in the aftermath of the horrific mass shootings in Texas and Ohio that killed 31 people.

The two New York lawmakers said the legislation passed the Democrat-controlled House in February but has since been bottled up by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.

​”​McConnell should immediately allow the Senate to vote on the legislation that would enact universal background checks on all gun purchases, an urgently-needed action necessary to address the scourge of gun violence plaguing America​,” Schumer and King said in a statement announcing the news conference.

​It will be held at the Westbury Walmart.​

​King was one of the sponsors of the legislation — which passed 240-190 with eight Republicans voting in favor — that would enact background checks on all gun purchases.

The call for background check legislation comes a day after President Trump outlined a number of initiatives, including “red flag” measures, fighting mental illness, and ordered the Justice Department to work with social media companies to detect possible shooters.

But he didn’t mention enacting background check legislation, which Schumer and King said in their statement has the support of 97 percent of the American public.
