NRA slams Senate's bipartisan gun control package saying it 'falls short at every level'
Fox News
The National Rifle Association responded to the Senate releasing its text for its bipartisan gun control package, which came about following a series of mass shootings.
The Senate released the 80-page text of the bill on Tuesday, which includes grants for states that implement their own red flag laws, would expand background checks for gun buyers under 21, creates penalties for straw purchases of firearms, requires more gun sellers to register as Federally Licensed Firearm Dealers.
The Senate voted to advance the bill at a 64 to 34 vote, with 14 Republicans supporting the effort. The procedural vote signals the bill would have enough support to pass the 60-vote threshold needed to break a filibuster in the Senate when it comes up for an official vote.
