What’s in the Senate’s 80-page bipartisan gun safety bill
The Hill ^

Posted on 06/21/2022 7:58:24 PM PDT by FarCenter

Senate negotiators unveiled an 80-page bill Tuesday evening responding to the mass shootings at the Tops supermarket in Buffalo, N.Y., and the Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, capping weeks of intense negotiations.

Sen. Chris Murphy (Conn.), the lead Democratic negotiator, is hailing the bill as the biggest breakthrough on the issue of gun violence in 30 years and predicted Tuesday it would save lives.

Sen. John Cornyn (Texas), the head Republican in the talks, says the legislation will take guns out of the hands of people who are dangerous or break the law but won’t affect the gun rights of law-abiding citizens.

Here’s what’s inside the package:

Enhanced background checks for people 18 to 21

Money for red flag laws and other intervention programs

Closing the ‘boyfriend loophole‘

Children and family mental health services

Clarifying the definition of gun dealers

Cracking down on straw purchasers and illegal trafficking of firearms

And I’m sure every gang banger will turn in their guns.

Rather than just The Hill reporter’s interpretation of what is in the bill, why don’t they attach the text? Oh, I see...

As earlier, should be one page. In the center:

THIS PAGE INTENTIONALLY BLANK!

Disgust is an extreme understatement. Both our SINators are like commie-la “fweedumb” hawiss. Totally useless.

Is their a red flag provision so that lying politicians that endanger the Republic can be picked up and held for questioning?

Red flags laws are social score laws.

In case people haven’t been paying attention, we’ve been living in a time when laws and the Constitutions are only applied at the discretion of Democrats.

It was a good run, nearly 250 years.

Sounds like this bill will discourage men from getting involved with women.

Are you trying to say that McCarthy and McConnell aren't going to save us here at the very last second?

So now, my GF can at her "discretion" (read that: anytime she gets upset at me) can RED FLAG me simply because she can.

This is effin' brilliant. Every single idiot in Congress that votes for this thing to be enacted needs to be removed from office.

And I'm sure Chicago gang-bangers will be racing to turn in their illegally obtained weapons any minute now ...
