The Dhaka Times Desk A bipartisan group of US lawmakers has proposed the first major gun control legislation in decades.
Their proposed bill could be voted on in the US Senate this week. After two recent indiscriminate shootings in which many people, including children, were killed, there has been a strong demand to amend gun control laws in a US society steeped in gun violence.
Provisions proposed in the 80-page bill would also allow states to stop the sale of guns to those "considered to be a danger to themselves and others." Gun sales to those accused of violence against unmarried intimate partners could also be banned.
The legislation, proposed after the indiscriminate shootings of teenagers at a New York grocery store and a Texas elementary school, would also allow states to provide juvenile records to the national background check system for gun purchases.
In this regard, Senator Chris Murphy said in the Senate, 'I believe we can pass the proposed law this week. It will be the most significant anti-gun violence legislation passed by Congress in 30 years.' Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer also promised to move the bill forward as quickly as possible. "This bipartisan gun safety legislation will save lives," he said in a statement. This law is urgently needed, if not all that we want.'
In a statement expressing his support for the legislation, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell described the legislation as a 'commonsense package'. The legislation would also need the support of at least 10 Republican senators to pass the US Senate, which is evenly divided between the two parties. The National Rifle Association, the largest US gun lobby, said on Twitter that it opposes the law because it believes it could be used to create barriers to the legal purchase of guns.
