'Our plan increases needed mental health resources, improves school safety and support for students, and helps ensure dangerous criminals and those who are adjudicated as mentally ill can’t purchase weapons'
Photo: Nicholas Kamm / AFP/Getty Images That’s one small step for common sense gun reform — assuming, of course, that a new bipartisan compromise on gun safety makes it through the Senate in one piece. On Sunday, a bipartisan Senate committee of 10 Republicans and 10 Democrats announced a deal on gun reform, but there’s still a long way to go.
Who participated in the bipartisan committee? The group of 20 senators was led by Democrat Chris Murphy, a long time gun safety advocate from Connecticut, and Texas Republican John Cornyn.
Finally, the deal includes a crack down on licensing requirements and “straw purchases” , and a proposal to strengthen background checks on buyers under the age of 21 to “require an investigative period to review juvenile and mental health records.”
