Shortly before 5:00 PM this evening, Republican Senator John Cornyn of Texas took to the Senate floor to tell Americans what we can expect to see in the “bipartisan compromise” gun bill just released to the public.
The legislation includes provisions that deal with a number of factors that Senators believe could help prevent another tragedy like Uvalde.
Topics addressed in the bill include provisions to fund community mental health centers and school-based mental health services.
There are also measures that would make it more difficult for individuals between 18 and 20 years of age to obtain firearms, and expand the definition of who must register for a Federal Firearms License (FFL).
Senators from both parties have shown support for the bill which could face a procedural vote as early as tonight.
Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer pledged to bring the bill up for final passage as soon as possible.
Republican Leader Mitch McConnell has also stated support for the legislation while insisting that it would not infringe upon constitutional rights.
The National Rifle Association (NRA) has promised to stand up for law-abiding gun owners and oppose the legislation.

While this article is seriously lacking in details – wherein resides the Devil – it can generally be claimed with veracity, gun “safety” bills have proven to deliver far, far less than has been promised by pols falling over each other in a stampede to “do something.” The “something” has so far only served to hamper law-abiding folks who have no nefarious intentions and wish only to exercise their 2nd. Amendment right. Of course, that’s of no consequence when the true goal is to disarm Americans, period. We are utter fools if we allow the political elitists to do that, and deserve whatever befalls us thereafter.
Let’s go, Brandon! Remember in November.
Our, supposedly, representatives are giving up our second amendment a yard at a time. It is not the object that does the deed, but the person wielding the object
80 pages for a few “gun-safety regulations”????? I smell RINO feel good chumps working with socialists to usurp a portion of the 2nd Amendment.
Well Cornyn AND THE 10 RINO’S ARE ALREADY TRYING TO SCREW THING’S UP, THE DEMOCRATS DON’T CARE ABOUT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE AS THEIR ACTION’S HAVE SHOWN, and now the REPUBLICANS are just acting like DEMOCRATS, way to go REPUBLICANS YOU JUST CAN’T HELP It to throw this election away and you still have 6 months to go.
WE’VE ALREADY GIVEN CONGRESS THE SOLUTION TO ELIMINATE SCHOOL SHOOTINGS ….BUT THAT’S NOT REALLY WHAT THEY WANT….THOSE FOOLS ARE MESSING WITH THE WRONG COUNTRY HERE. THIS IS NOT THE UN, THE EU, OR SOME 3RD WORLD SHIT HOLE. BIDEN AND CONGRESS CANNOT FORCE THEIR UNCONSTITUTIONAL DEMANDS OR LAWS UPON US. THE FRAMERS KNEW THAT WE COULD SOMEDAY FACE A TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT, AND THEREFORE, THEY GRANTED US THESE PROTECTIONS FOR A TIME SUCH AS THIS…..AND THESE PROTECTIONS CANNOT BE REMOVED OR CHANGED TO SUIT SOME POLITICAL HACKS WITH AN AGENDA TO DISARM AMERICA. OUR 2ND AMENDMENT PROTECTIONS MUST STAND THE TEST OF TIME, UNALTERED FOR NOW AND FOREVER MORE.
Sadly there are millions of the unarmed who have been murdered by totalitarian governments. Far more than have been murdered in our society
by the deranged. Giving evil more fertile ground results in more evil and these rinos erode one of the protections of our constitution that was put in place when our forefathers defeated evil.
No one cares what chuckie schumer thinks…
