Here's what to know about the tentative gun deal reached by 10 Democrats and 10 Republicans in the SenateWASHINGTON — The outline of a bipartisan Senate agreement on reining in gun violence has no game-changing steps banning the deadliest firearms. But it does propose measured provisions that could make it harder for some young gun buyers, or people considered threatening, to have weapons. And there are meaningful efforts to address mental health and school safety concerns.
Inclusion of the tougher restrictions against straw purchasers and estranged partners were surprises because they'd been blocked by Republicans before.Democrats say there will be billions of dollars to expand mental health initiatives. This would pay for more community behavioral health centers, strengthened suicide prevention and violence intervention efforts and increased access to mental telehealth visits.
What conditions would states have to meet to qualify for"red flag" funds? What legal protections would people have if the authorities consider them too risky to have firearms? He'd repeal the legal immunity from liability protecting gun makers. He wants safe storage requirements for guns and a federal"red-flag" law to cover states without one.
Another bargainer, Sen. Richard Blumenthal , D-Conn., said he hopes Republicans will see that"the gun lobby is weaker than they think." But there are signs that approving future restrictions will be challenging.
