U.S. Senate Approves Gun Control Bill

On Thursday, the Upper House of the United States Congress endorsed a bipartisan bill that addresses gun control in the United States. The legislative initiative that seemed unthinkable a few months ago is on track to be the most far-reaching legislative action in the matter achieved in decades in the face of the shootings that have been unleashed in recent weeks. With a final vote of 65 in favor and 33 against, a group of Democratic and Republican senators pointed out that the inaction of the Federal Legislative Branch in the face of the wave of violence was no longer sustainable after the violent events in Texas and New York.With a support of 13 billion dollars, the bill approved in the US Senate seeks to tighten background checks for those who, at a young age, acquire firearms. It also contemplates preventing those accused of domestic violence from accessing firearms, while helping states implement alert laws that make it easier for local authorities to steal weapons from people deemed dangerous.” But it’s a long overdue step in the right direction. Passing this gun safety bill is really important and will save lives,” said U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.The bill also calls for the designation of public resources to local programs for academic safety, mental health and violence prevention. After the shootings that took place last May, especially the one that occurred in the Robb primary in Uvalde, Texas, where 21 people lost their lives, senators from both political parties met in order to structure a common legislative project to deal with the violence unleashed.
