While Trump has made no specific commitment on legislation, his warm rhetoric toward new gun legislation could be a gamechanger for Senate Republicans
Sen. Mitt Romney said in a statement that he supports “enhancing existing background checks” that preserve Second Amendment protections. Sen. Martha McSally has said she would consider new gun legislation and wants to make domestic terrorism a federal crime. Michigan Republican Senate candidate John James described expanding background checks in an interview as among the “reasonable things to consider.
Collins voted for the assault weapons ban previously but said studies show it made little difference in preventing shootings. Rep. Jared Golden , one of just two House Democrats to oppose the new majority’s universal background checks bill, said background checks wouldn’t have prevented the El Paso and Dayton shooters from obtaining guns.Golden and Collins both oppose the House-passed bill because they deem the exemptions for gun transfers to family and friends too narrow.
While GOP senators view background checks as a heavy lift, passing a red flag law won’t be easy either.
