The Senate’s Bipartisan Gun Control Bill Lacks REAL Gun Control Solutions

A bipartisan group of 20 senators has just agreed to a “commonsense” gun control framework in a seemingly filibuster-proof arrangement between the two parties. Lead by Senators Chris Murphy and John Cornyn and praised by President Biden, the framework proposes federal funding to establish ‘red flag’ laws, invest heavily in mental health and family services inside and outside of schools, and strengthen background checks for customers under 21, despite not proposing any ban to AR-15s and other assault rifles, limiting gun capacity, and banning assault weapon purchases before age 21.

“A bipartisan group of 20 senators led by Sens. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and John Cornyn (R-Texas) on Sunday announced they have agreed to “a commonsense proposal” to curb gun violence in response to the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, that left 21 people dead at Robb Elementary School.

In a major development, 10 Republicans signed onto the bipartisan framework, which means any legislation based on its principles has a good chance of mustering 60 votes and overcoming a filibuster on the Senate floor.

President Biden applauded the deal, which he said “would be the most significant gun safety legislation to pass Congress in decades,” and pledged to sign it.

The nine-point bipartisan plan would send federal resources to set up red flag laws to keep guns out of the hands of people deemed dangerous to the community, invest billions of dollars in children and family mental health services, fund school-based mental health services, fund new safety measures at schools and strengthen criminal background check requirements for gun buyers younger than 21."
