They've announced a gun safety framework including support for state "red flag" laws, tougher background checks for firearms buyers under 21 and a crackdown on a practice called "straw purchases".
It comes after tens-of-thousands of demonstrators descended on Washington and hundreds of other rallies across the United States demanding lawmakers undertake urgent reforms to end the country's gun violence.
Washington DC correspondent Simon Marks spoke to Susie Ferguson.
