Serious bipartisan negotiations are underway in the Senate to come up with new gun laws to prevent mass shootings
The Democrat said some states have taken the initiative and passed tighter gun restrictions in the 10 years since the killing of 20 students and six staffers atSchool in Connecticut but added that federal legislation is needed and that he hopes “this time is different.”
“I can’t say for certain, but I can tell you I sense a different feeling among my colleagues after Uvalde,” Durbin said on Although the Senate is on recess for the Memorial Day holiday and not due to return to work until June 6, Democrats, led by Murphy, are talking with their Republican counterparts to reach some common ground on gun measures.
Murphy has also huddled with Sen. Rick Scott , who as governor of the Sunshine State in 2018 signed legislation raising the legal age to buy a gun to 21 from 18. The senator said he talked with Scott last week to learn about the legislation and how state Republican lawmakers defied the National Rifle Association, which opposed the measure.
