But it introduces tailored reforms meant to incentivize states to keep guns out of dangerous people\u2019s hands, provide new protections for domestic violence victims, enhance screening for gun buyers under the age of 21, and crack down on illegal gun purchases and trafficking.<\/p>\n
The bill also provides billions of dollars in additional funding for school safety and mental health resources. Democrats have stressed they don\u2019t believe that America\u2019s gun violence epidemic can be solved by investments in mental health resources, as Republicans have argued, but have said that they won\u2019t pass up the opportunity to put more money toward mental health.”<\/p>\n

“Ultimately, 15 Republicans and 50 members of the Democratic caucus ended up joining them in voting for the bill. The vote was bipartisan on the House side too, with 14 GOP lawmakers \u2014 including Rep. Tony Gonzales, whose district includes Uvalde \u2014 voting yes.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[542,113,407,112,406,109,236,551],"class_list":["post-8545","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-article-share","tag-congress","tag-gun-control","tag-gun-deaths","tag-gun-laws","tag-gun-violence","tag-guns","tag-regulation","tag-regulations"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lonecandle.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8545","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lonecandle.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lonecandle.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lonecandle.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lonecandle.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8545"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/lonecandle.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8545\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8546,"href":"https:\/\/lonecandle.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8545\/revisions\/8546"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lonecandle.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8545"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lonecandle.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8545"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lonecandle.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8545"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
