The Senate passed a sweeping bipartisan gun bill late Thursday night in a 65-33 vote. The bill now heads to the House.
Sen. Chris Murphy talks to reporters at the Capitol, Wednesday, June 22, 2022.
"The legislation that Senator Cornyn and our colleagues assembled protects the Second Amendment," McConnell said in a statement."There are no new bans, mandates, or waiting periods for law-abiding citizens of any age. What the bill does contain are commonsense solutions that are overwhelmingly popular with lawful gun owners, such as adding juvenile criminal records and mental health issues into the background check system.
"Enhanced funding for school security & mental health treatment is a good thing — but it’s being combined with giving the left a foothold to limit the 2nd Amendment." Blackburn tweeted."I voted against the gun control bill because Americans' constitutional right to keep & bear arms is not negotiable."
"In an effort to slowly chip away at law-abiding citizens’ 2nd Amendment rights, this legislation takes the wrong approach in attempting to curb violent crimes,"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi put out a statement saying,"On behalf of the House, we applaud the Senate for passing its gun violence prevention package on a strong bipartisan vote."
