Senators have moved to the brink of an agreement on a bipartisan gun violence bill, meaning a vote could happen later this week.
Nine days after Senate bargainers agreed to a framework proposal — and 29 years after Congress last enacted a major measure curbing firearms — Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., told reporters that a final agreement on the proposal's details was at hand.
"I think we’ve reached agreement," Murphy said. "And just we’re dotting the I’s and crossing the T’s right now. I think we’re in good shape."Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, the chief Republican bargainer, spoke on the Senate floor moments later and said he, Murphy and the other two top Senate bargainers had "reached agreement."
