The measures are modest, but the prevailing sentiment among Democratic lawmakers and gun-reform advocates appears to be that anything is much better than nothing

The Senate group negotiations were led by Democrats Murphy and Kyrsten Sinema and Republicans John Cornyn and Thom Tillis. Democrat Joe Manchin endorsed the outline, as did Republicans Roy Blunt, Richard Burr, Bill Cassidy, Susan Collins, Lindsey Graham, Rob Portman, Mitt Romney, and Pat Toomey. Four of those senators are not running for reelection.
The proposed plan does not include popular gun-reform measures like universal background checks, a federal “red flag” law, safe storage requirements, outright bans on high-capacity magazines or semi-automatic rifles, nor, at the very least, restricting their sale to people over the age of 21. Regardless, thus far the prevailing sentiment among Democratic lawmakers appears to be that anything is much better than nothing.
