The Senate is racing to finalize a gun safety package before Congress leaves for recess in under 2 weeks. 10 Republicans have agreed to back a legislative framework, but the path forward is still rocky as parties haggle over the specifics.
Senate negotiators are racing to finalize legislative text for a gun safety bill, aiming to hold a vote on the final product before Congress leaves for recess in less than two weeks.
“We’re trying to seize the moment and the momentum,” Durbin said. “And we have both. So waiting runs the risk that some other critically important issue squeezes it off the calendar.
“My hope is that we can complete that job in the next few days, hopefully by the end of the week so that the bill will be available for all senators, indeed all of the world, to read,” he said. In addition to the back-to-back mass shootings in Uvalde, Texas and Buffalo, N.Y., which spurred the latest gun talks, the Supreme Court is expected to soon decide whether states and localities can prevent gun owners from carrying their weapons outside the home.
