Democratic lawmakers held a news conference on crafting bipartisan legislation to address gun violence in the wake of mass shootings in Buffalo, New York and Uvalde, Texas. They spoke about banning “ghost” guns (i.e., un-serialized and untraceable firearms that can be bought online and assembled at home), expanding universal background checks, and enacting red flag statutes. Red flag statutes allow judges to determine whether to allow police or family member requests that a state court temporarily remove firearms from individuals who may be a threat to themselves or others. Activists and those affected by mass shootings also spoke at the news conference. close
