Congress has moved to the verge of approving a $13 billion bipartisan gun violence bill that seemed unimaginable a month ago. House approval was expected Friday. FOX13
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul was outraged at the Supreme Court ruling striking down the state's concealed carry law related to firearms, potentially expanding 2nd Amendment rights throughout the U.S. In a 6-3 ruling the justices determined that New York's requirement to show proper cause for a concealed carry permit is unconstitutional and violates the 2nd Amendment.
The bill would incrementally toughen requirements for young people to buy guns, deny firearms from more domestic abusers and help local authorities temporarily take weapons from people judged to be dangerous. Most of its $13 billion cost would go to bolster mental health programs and for schools, which have been targeted in Newtown, Connecticut, Parkland, Florida and many other infamous massacres.
The legislation was a direct result of the slaying of 19 children and two teachers at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, exactly one month ago, and the killing of 10 Black shoppers days earlier in Buffalo, New York. Lawmakers returned from their districts after those shootings saying constituents were demanding congressional action, a vehemence many felt could not be ignored.
For the conservatives who dominate Republicans in the House, it all came down to the Constitution's Second Amendment right for people to have firearms, a protection that is key for many voters who own guns.
