[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one is attempting to pass gun control legislation at the federal level. Not the GOP, and not the Democrats. This is just an issue that people talk about, not one that they put any actual work or effort into.  [/quote]

2022: The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act breaks a nearly 30-year stalemate on Capitol Hill over federal gun laws when it is signed into law in June 2022. "At a time when it seems impossible to get anything done in Washington, we are doing something consequential," Biden says then. The law includes $750 million to help states implement so-called "red flag" laws to remove firearms from people deemed to be a danger to themselves or others as well as other violence prevention programs. It also provides funding for a variety of programs aimed at shoring up the nation's mental health apparatus and securing schools. It enhances background checks for gun buyers under the age of 21 and closes what is known as the "boyfriend loophole" so individuals in "serious" "dating relationships" who are convicted of domestic abuse will be prevented from purchasing a gun. But other, tougher restrictions are taken off the table as part of negotiations with conservatives, including raising the minimum age to buy assault-type weapons, mandatory waiting periods for all gun sales and universal background checks.[/quote]
