BREAKING: Senate OKs bipartisan gun violence bill, moving Congress' boldest firearms curbs in decades to brink of final approval.
The election-year package fell far short of more robust gun restrictions Democrats have sought and Republicans have thwarted for years, including bans on the assault-type weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines used in the slayings in Buffaloand Uvalde. Yet the accord let leaders of both parties declare victory and demonstrate to voters that they know how to compromise and make government work, while also leaving room for each side to appeal to its core supporters.
The day proved bittersweet for advocates of curtailing gun violence. Underscoring the enduring potency of conservative cIout, the right-leaningstriking down a New York law requiring people to prove a need for carrying a weapon before they get a license to do so. On both votes, 15 Senate Republicans joined all 50 Democrats, including their two allied independents, in backing the legislation.
Cruz said the legislation would “disarm law-abiding citizens rather than take serious measures to protect our children.” Both chambers — now narrowly controlled by Democrats — could well be run by the GOP after November’s midterm elections.
