Sen. Chris Murphy speaks to reporters about legislation to help prevent gun violence at the Capitol. | J. Scott Applewhite/AP PhotoSenate Democrats are struggling for the total unity they need on major infrastructure and elections bills. Their gun controlInstead, Democrats are preparing to vote on a scaled-down guns bill — most likely a curtailed plan to boost background checks for firearm buyers.

Rather than put up House-passed bills that established universal background checks and closed other loopholes, Democrats are leaning towards scheduling a vote next month on legislation increasing the number of online and gun show transactions covered by federal background checks. Unlike the House-passed gun bills, Senate Democrats are betting such legislation could unite them and even tempt Republicans to join them.

Such legislation would be designed to address current loopholes in the federal system that allow some gun sales to occur without a background check. Federal law only requires sales from licensed dealers, importers and manufacturers to undergo a background check, creating a gap that gun control advocates have long pushed to close.

Even if senators were to strike a compromise, though, a scaled-back bill could face skepticism among gun control groups that have long fought for more stringent checks and were eager for change after President Joe Biden won the White House.

No compromise. No gun control.

Typical Washington. They pander then they end up doing nothing

Prepare to be voted out of office. There is no negotiating with people who support the idea of gunning down children so some angry male can feel empowered.

Infuckedstrucure is a more proper name for the bs your proposing..

There is NO UNITY WITH TRAITORS. DNC DO SOMETHING NOW BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.
