Senator Schumer Vows to Move Quickly on Bipartisan Gun Deal Once Bill is Ready

Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) speaks on the Senate floor about the bipartisan deal reached on addressing gun violence. The bill includes funding to help states set up "red flag" laws, address mental health challenges, and also allows for enhanced background checks for individuals under 21 so that juvenile mental health and criminal records can be reviewed. The Democratic leader says the bill will save lives and that he will bring it to the floor once the text of the framework agreement is available. close
