WASHINGTON — The group of senators led by Texas Republican John Cornyn and Connecticut Democrat Chris Murphy describe the bipartisan federal gun proposals they released Sunday following the Uvalde school shooting in Texas as “commonsense” measures.
Cornyn released a statement laying out several key provisions that could be implemented through legislation, including:
•Giving states and tribes resources to create laws that keep deadly weapons away from those the court has determined to be a danger to themselves or others, within “state and federal due process and constitutional protections.” While the term is not explicitly mentioned in the statement, the language mirrors red flag laws seen in states across the country.
