Lawmakers across the political spectrum suggest that efforts to pass bipartisan gun legislation are making serious progress as Republicans appear more amenable to change the laws.
Americans seem to generally support stricter gun control legislation.enacting new gun control laws should take precedence over protecting gun ownership, an ABC/Ipsos poll out on Sunday suggests.
Major Republican donors from Texas signed an open letter that appeared as a full-page ad in the Dallas Morning News on Sunday endorsing red flag laws, expanded background checks and a raised age limit to purchase guns, according to the"I've never been part of negotiations as serious as these," Sen. Chris Murphy said on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday.
"Listen, we're not going to do everything I want. We are not going to put a piece of legislation on the table that's going to ban assault weapons, or we're not going to pass comprehensive background checks. But right now, people in this country want us to make progress. They just don't want the status quo to continue for another 30 years.""My hope is we'll get at least half of the Republican conference ," Sen.
"That should be the goal here. We're going to have to be realistic about what can do that. Sen. Murphy alluded to the idea it is not going to be everything, certainly, that the Democrats would like.""We need to be focused more on stopping things before they happen," Rep. Steve Scalise said on Fox News Sunday. "This isn't something that we're having a conversation about right now and it should be.
