A bipartisan group of Senate negotiators say they have reached a deal on a package of safety and gun-related measures narrowly focused on preventing future shootings similar to the one in Uvalde, Texas, where 19 children and two teachers were killed in their school.
The agreement has the support of at least 20 senators who worked closely over the past several weeks to find the areas of common ground that could pass the closely divided Senate. The group includes 10 Republicans, meaning a final bill could potentially garner the 60 votes necessary to overcome a filibuster.
"Our plan increases needed mental health resources, improves school safety and support for students, and helps ensure dangerous criminals and those who are adjudicated as mentally ill can't purchase weapons," the group said in a statement."Most importantly, our plan saves lives while also protecting the constitutional rights of law-abiding Americans."

Offer $$ to the states to have red flag laws, penalties are already in place for unlawful purchase & specifically for convicted felons, an expansive background check for 18-21 year old? This is nothing but smoke and mirrors.
“Money to encourage” sounds legit.
