What should be done if the Senate still refuses to deal with gun violence?

Open to suggestions.

We can't wait for the next election.

In what way/ways have they refused?
You have two parties. One party thinks the guns are the problem in spite of states like IL with VERY STRICT gun laws and a city (Chicago) with an incredible amount of gun violence. The other party recognizes guns are not the issue and periodically does the right thing in this regard.
@ProfessorPlum77 45 people were shot over Memorial Day weekend in Chicago. Same as almost every weekend in Chicago. Or St. Louis, Philadelphia, Detroit, New Orleans, etc. etc. etc. Let's continue to ignore that 90% of all firearm homicides occur in America's inner cities where gangs and drugs rule. Politicians on both sides will never address gun violence reality because they know it's their policies that fuels the fire. Instead, they continue to redirect blame at the lack of gun laws, or too many guns, or the type of guns.

@BizSuitStacy I agree. How often do you hear about inner city gun violence on the mainstream media outlets?
