The promise was to support comprehensive background checks, not necessarily to single-handedly enact them. Watson Coleman explicitly campaigned on requiring comprehensive background checks and later acted consistently in office by voting for the Bipartisan Background Checks Act and cosponsoring H.R. 715, a bill requiring background checks for every firearm sale. Those actions fulfill the support commitment during her congressional service.
