A ‘Ban’ on Assault Weapons….
Stricter Background Checks….
The above IS for Real…..
NOBODY is gonna change America’s Gun Culture ….
Not even with a mass shooting somewhere EVERY day….
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.), who is helping lead bipartisan gun reform talks in the Senate, said on Sunday that any potential deal on legislation would not include an assault weapons ban or “comprehensive” background checks.
Murphy told CNN “State of the Union” co-anchor Jake Tapper that the bipartisan group of senators leading the talks following a recent string of high-profile mass shootings met again Saturday night, adding that negotiations are focused on mental health funding, school safety measures and “modest but impactful” gun control proposals.
“We’re not going to do everything I want,” Murphy said.
“We’re not going to put a piece of legislation on the table that’s going to ban assault weapons, or we’re not going to pass comprehensive background checks,” he said. “But right now, people in this country want us to make progress. They just don’t want the status quo to continue for another 30 years.”
Hours after a mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, that left 19 children and two teachers dead last month, Murphy made an emotional plea on the Senate floor to lawmakers to act on gun control….
I guess something is better than nothing, eh?
Gun Deal Is Close
NBC News: “Senate gun negotiators are close to the finish line. Talks have moved in a ‘more positive direction since Thursday.’ Legislative text could drop as early as today.”
