President Trump says 'serious' talks are in progress among lawmakers on 'meaningful' background checks and that he has been 'speaking to the NRA, and others, so that their very strong views can be fully represented and respected.'
On Thursday, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.,
said a law expanding background checks and"red flags" would be on the table after the Senate returns from its August recess. "Those are two items that for sure will be front and center as we see what we can come together on and pass" the Republican leader said on a Kentucky radio station, speaking about a bipartisan bill from Sens. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Pat Toomey, R-Pa., which would expand background checks to cover online and gun show sales, and a so-called red flag law, legislation that allows courts and police to confiscate firearms from people who are believed to be a threat to themselves or others.
"But what we can't do, is fail to pass something. By just locking up, and failing to pass, that's unacceptable," McConnell said, marking a significant departure from his past handling of gun legislation in the wake of tragedies.
