There are still a number of obstacles in the way of the bill that need to be removed. He faces two more key votes in the US Senate, the second of which is final approval. The US House of Representatives must then pass the bill.
The debate on the new legislation in the Senate is expected to end “this week”. It is noted that lawmakers need to hurry before the Senate goes on vacation on July 4 to reach the adoption of the bill in the House of Representatives.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer praised the bipartisan negotiators on Tuesday night, saying the bill was “progress and will save lives.” “While this is not all we want, this law is essential,” he added in a Senate speech.
As for the timing of the bill, Sumer said: “We will move to the final pass as soon as possible. I expect the bill to be passed by the Senate by the end of the week.”
The Senate compromise bill on gun security reportedly includes millions of dollars in investment in mental health, school security, crisis intervention programs, and incentives for states to include juvenile records in the National Criminal Investigation System.
The bill introduces significant changes in the process of purchasing firearms for persons aged 18 to 21. He also closes the so-called “boyfriend loophole”, which is a great victory for the Democrats who have fought for this decade.
Addition
The US House of Representatives approved a radical package of weapons control measures on June 9.
