Democrats Hope to Pass Gun Bill This Week

Punchbowl News: “The bipartisan group of senators working on a gun-control bill – led by Sens. Chris Murphy (D-CT) and John Cornyn (R-TX) – is expected to file the legislative text today. They were expected to file it Monday, however, so we’ll wait and see what happens.”

“Senate Democratic leaders are hoping to pass the bill this week, before the Senate leaves town for a planned two-week recess. Without any time agreements to speed up the process, a final vote could slide into the weekend. So the sooner this gets filed, the better for supporters of the bill.”
