A group of bipartisan senators have reached a gun safety framework, which includes enhanced background checks for those under 21, funding for mental health and school safety and state grants for "red flag" laws.The deal falls short of what many Democrats want, but if passed, it would be the most significant gun safety measure in decades.
Provides resources to states to create and administer laws that help ensure deadly weapons are kept out of the hands of individuals whom a court has determined to be a significant danger to themselves or others.Major investments to increase access to mental health and suicide prevention programs.Convicted domestic violence abusers and individuals subject to domestic violence restraining orders will be included in NICS.
"Our plan increases needed mental health resources, improves school safety and support for students, and helps ensure dangerous criminals and those who are adjudicated as mentally ill can’t purchase weapons. Most importantly, our plan saves lives while also protecting the constitutional rights of law-abiding Americans. We look forward to earning broad, bipartisan support and passing our commonsense proposal into law.”"This an agreement on principles, not legislative text.
