President Joe Biden signed a bipartisan gun bill Saturday designed to keep weapons away from dangerous people, one month after a horrific elementary school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.
Biden signed the bill right before his scheduled departure for Europe and a series of meetings with world leaders over Russia's war on Ukraine.
A smaller group of Republicans did agree to this scaled-down gun bill, enough to get it through the Senate while avoiding a filibuster. Some Democrats said they wished the law would go further but supported it as better than nothing. They also vowed to continue pushing for more restrictions on guns in the future."This bill does not do everything we need to end gun violence," said Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash.,"but doing nothing was the most extreme option on the table.
