A Bipartisan Gun Bill

Submitted by ub on

US Senate breaks decades-long impasse on gun safety. The 65-33 vote is aimed at keeping firearms away from dangerous people.

Following many years of GOP procedural delays that derailed Democratic efforts to curb firearms, Democrats and 15 Republicans decided that congressional inaction was untenable after last month’s rampages in New York and Texas. It took weeks of closed-door talks but a bargain from both parties emerged with a compromise embodying an incremental but impactful movement to curb bloodshed that has come to shock Americans.
