On Tuesday, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) announced his support for a bipartisan gun control plan largely negotiated by Senators John Cornyn (R-Tex.) and Chris Murphy (D-Conn.).
“If the legislation ends up reflecting what the [gun control] framework indicates, I’ll be supportive,” McConnell said. “It’s a step forward on a bipartisan basis and further demonstrates to the American people that we can come together, which we have done from time to time on things like infrastructure and postal reform, to make progress for the country.”
Although not written yet as legislation, the framework of the gun control bill includes funding to help states implement “red flag” laws, which allow a court to bar an individual who is “a significant danger to themselves or others”; closes a loophole that allowed certain domestic abusers to purchase guns; invests in mental health and safety services for schools; enhances background checks for people under 21; and expands mental health services across the nation.
The outline does not include many of the measures from the Protecting Our Kids Act, which was approved by the House of Representatives last week. Provisions that did not make the Senate’s proposal include raising the minimum age to purchase a rifle to 21, banning the sale of “large-capacity magazines,” and changing the rules for storing guns at home. …

Real United States progress will come when McConnell retires.
What a load of that stuff he stands on to make speeches. Manure pile.
Traitor to the people forever.
And this is The RUBICON, THE RED LINE.
This guy has no business representing us in DC. He is as corrupt as any of these DC pricks.
There will not be a single thing in that bill that benefits gun owners. You would think if our side was going to reach a “compromise,” we would at least get something for it. Voting rino is voting for the managed decline of America.
“Bipartisan” = “uniparty”.
Past time to ban “assult polititions”. The founding fathers never envisioned a permenent class of political hacks. (Or maybe they did and that’s what the seconed amendment is for)
McConnell takes the Constitution and thinks it’s a diaper wipe.
I pray God rips power from this corrupt man. There is no deal he wouldn’t make with the devil.
Where are the screaming GOP bullies claiming all we need to think about was how we won Virginia?
saw a meme today went like:
homeowner on the phone to 911 “Please help, someone broke into my house and they have a gun
Dispatcher “That’s quite impossible ma’am, guns have been banned”
Thinking out loud here. As much as I despise the Turtle, I’m hoping that he pulls the plug after the November’s, The Dems are using this as a wedge issue, similar to how they used Abortion and Gay Right’s. The public is tired of seeing these shootings and the MSM is feeding the beast. The left is simply trying to do whatever it takes to get their base out. Even if it is a false flag or staged event.
as soon as the gop signs onto the bill- the left will cram it full of crap and pass the new revised bill with it’s new additions- Are the GOP really this stupid? The left are friggin snakes, and the gop get bit EVERY time by them whenever they compromise on crap like this bill
#11. Yes. Both of them know why and know better than this.
.
It will take 16 years for Republicans to catch on to Mitch McConnell working for the Dems.
He laughs himself to sleep every night.
Adios Cornyn
Puh cough Mitch.
