A bipartisan group of senators in June revealed sweeping gun reform legislation that, if passed, could end decades of partisan gridlock and inaction on the issue.
"Today, we finalized bipartisan, commonsense legislation to protect America’s children, keep our schools safe, and reduce the threat of violence across our country," Sens. Chris Murphy, D-Conn.; John Cornyn, R-Texas; Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., and Thom Tillis, R-N.C. said in a joint statement.
