The agreement, which has the support of at least 10 Republican senators, is narrowly focused at preventing future shootings similar to the one in Uvalde, Texas.
"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," the group said in a statement."Most importantly, our plan saves lives while also protecting the constitutional rights of law-abiding Americans."
Aides have said that it could take weeks to go through the legal and technical process of turning a preliminary deal into a final bill. Votes are not expected imminently on this agreement. Senators have been broadly optimistic that any bipartisan agreement will eventually pass the Senate but the ultimate fate of the bill is not entirely clear.
President Biden expressed support for the deal in a statement."Obviously, it does not do everything that I think is needed, but it reflects important steps in the right direction, and would be the most significant gun safety legislation to pass Congress in decades," Biden said. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer pledged to put a bill on the floor as soon as possible once legislation is written. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell released a statement praising the negotiators but stopped short of pledging support to an eventual bill.
