"I have requested of the President to call us together, Democrats and Republicans, to come up with a reasonable solution. Before he was a candidate and marched in lockstep to the NRA, Donald Trump expressed a very reasonable position on gun control," Schumer said.
"In fact, he said after (superstorm) Sandy, he supported the kind of bills we support. Let's hold him to that. Break from the NRA, which is making things worse, and work with us to get something done.
We need his help."
