The US Senate approved a bipartisan gun control bill Thursday night. This is the most comprehensive gun control bill passed by federal lawmakers for nearly 30 years.
The $ 13 billion bill was approved in 65-33 and received sufficient Republican support to avoid filibuster. This is an unthinkable scenario before the recent elementary school shootings and buffalo grocery rampage in Uvalde, Texas, moved 15 GOP senators. Compromise the bill.
The bill strengthens background checks for gun buyers under the age of 21 and enacts a danger signal law that keeps the state out of the hands of criminals and mentally ill people. Provide financial incentives. The
bill is likely to face stronger Republican opposition in the House of Representatives.
"This law makes children in schools and communities safer. I call Congress to finish work and bring this bill to my desk," Joe said.・ President Biden said.
