Senate Democrats have found 10 Republican Senators to endorse a sweeping “gun safety bill” that would inevitably be signed by President Biden if it navigates the Senate. Biden has already praised the legislation, mentioning that it “would be the most significant gun safety legislation to pass Congress in decades.” It is possible that more Republicans could join, as several others have showed interest, including Marco Rubio, Lisa Murkowski, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.

Senators Chris Murphy (D-CT) and John Cornyn (R-TX) took the lead in drafting the legislation and leading negotiations. Among the ten Republican Senators to signal support for the gun control bill were Mitt Romney, Pat Toomey and Lindsey Graham.

“I am glad Senators Cornyn and Murphy are continuing to make headway in their discussions,” McConnell said in a statement, adding that he hoped the talks make progress on “key issues like mental health and school safety” in a way that “respects the Second Amendment.”

The legislation contains several initiatives that appear to placate both sides of the aisle, such as investment in “Children and Family Mental Health Services” and “funding for school-based mental health and supportive services.”

After addressing the mental health aspects, the proposal includes “an investigative period to review juvenile and mental health records” for firearm buyers under 21. The legislation also mentions “closing the boyfriend loophole,” which would “prohibit dating partners from owning guns if they have been convicted of domestic violence.”

Perhaps the most controversial aspect of the legislation is funding for “states and tribes to create and administer laws that help ensure deadly weapons are kept out of the hands of individuals whom a court has determined to be a significant danger to themselves or others”, which essentially amounts to what is referred to as a “red flag law.”

Critics of red flag laws suggest that there could be selective enforcement that targets gun owners and prospective gun buyers who, for example, share certain opinions online.

Many on the political left are criticizing the proposal for not doing enough to restrict access to firearms.

Those criticizing the bill from the pro-gun control side argue that the legislation does not address specific firearms and magazine sizes. Many in the Democratic party and their media allies have been calling for restrictions and even bans on all semi-automatic weapons that chamber rounds above .22 caliber, which account for the bulk of privately owned firearms in America. Calls to ban the AR-15 and magazines with over 15 rounds have become more mainstream on the left.

A group of 20 Senators came together to pitch the proposal as a necessary step for safety that also protects Second Amendment rights. The “guns safety bill” backers contained the 10 Republican Senators, as well as 9 Democrats and 1 Independent.

Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) took the lead in drafting the legislation.

According to a report from Politico, “any legislation on the Senate floor may be subject to amendments, provided the bipartisan group can complete legislative text and lock in the 60 votes needed to start debate.”

What is our mission? Why do we post what we do?

Our mission here is to curate (share) articles and information that we feel is important for the evolution of consciousness. Most of that information is written or produced by other people and organizations, which means it does not represent our views or opinions as managing staff of Stillness in the Storm. Some of the content is written by one of our writers and is clearly marked accordingly. Just because we share a CNN story that speaks badly about the President doesn’t mean we’re promoting anti-POTUS views. We’re reporting on the fact as it was reported, and that this event is important for us to know so we can better contend with the challenges of gaining freedom and prosperity. Similarly, just because we share a pro/anti-[insert issue or topic] content, such as a pro-second amendment piece or an anti-military video doesn’t mean we endorse what is said. Again, information is shared on this site for the purpose of evolving consciousness. In our opinion, consciousness evolves through the process of accumulating knowledge of the truth and contemplating that knowledge to distill wisdom and improve life by discovering and incorporating holistic values. Thus, sharing information from many different sources, with many different perspectives is the best way to maximize evolution. What’s more, the mastery of mind and discernment doesn’t occur in a vacuum, it is much like the immune system, it needs regular exposure to new things to stay healthy and strong. If you have any questions as to our mission or methods please reach out to us at [email protected].
