Sen. Coons statement on bipartisan gun legislation

Statement

"I am grateful to the leadership of Senator Murphy, Senator Sinema, Senator Cornyn, and Senator Tillis and their staffs as they have created this bill to address gun violence and mental health. After spending years working to address the scourge of gun violence in America, we now have a bill that I believe will save lives if enacted. It will finally close the "boyfriend loophole," provide hundreds of millions of dollars to states to adopt and implement red flag laws, fund community violence intervention programs to stop violence before it happens, strengthen background checks and make generational investments in mental health across the country. This text represents real and meaningful progress, and I hope my colleagues will join me in voting for this bill and swiftly enacting it into law."
