Senators Close to Agreement on Gun Legislation

“Senate negotiators in both parties are pushing to announce as soon as Sunday the outlines of an agreement on new measures to address gun violence,“ CNN reports.

Politico: “The emerging package is anchored around extra scrutiny for gun buyers under the age of 21, grants to states to enact so-called red flag laws and new spending on mental health treatment and school security. While translating the agreement into legislation will take time, the group of senators is expected to announce that a significant number of lawmakers in both parties are behind their proposal responding to rising gun violence.”

Axios: “The deal, which will be announced imminently, falls short of what many Democrats want, but if passed, it would be the most significant gun safety measure in decades.”
