The Senate gun bill is the first step in the movement to take your guns away.
State "red flag" laws were once supported by Trump.
The legislation doesn't look like what Trump is saying.
The proposal backed by McConnell is the first step to take your guns away, according to Donald Trump.
"The deal on "Gun Control" currently being structured and pushed in the Senate by the Radical Left Democrats, with the help ofMitch McConnell, RINO Senator John Cornyn of Texas, and others, will go down in history as the first step in the movement to take your guns away Republicans, be careful with what you want. Trump used his social media platform to write.
The gun safety legislation cleared an early hurdle on Tuesday, and Trump is opposed to the proposal. The bill includes incentives for more states to pass red flag laws, a provision that closes the "boyfriend loophole" in background checks, and funding for mental health and school security measures.
A McConnell spokesman pointed to the top Republican's defense of his record. McConnell said that Republicans brushed back previous attempts to take massive bites out of the Second Amendment and that Democrats came our way in moving the legislation.
McConnell said on the Senate floor that the bill doesn't touch the rights of the majority of gun owners. A core civil liberty is the right to bear arms, the right to defend oneself and the right to family.
John Cornyn is a Texas Republican who led his party's negotiations over the plan.
The former president's statement shows that Trump's views on guns have changed a lot since he became president. He mused about reining in so-called assault-style weapons and even expressed openness to expanded federal background checks after deadly shootings.
How are we going to deal with assault rifles? The New York Times reported that Trump asked White House aides after the El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, mass shooting.
The assault weapons ban expired in 2004. Trump called for such an action in his book in 2000.
The "red flag" provisions are a key part of the legislation.
"We must make sure that those judged to pose a grave risk to public safety do not have access to firearms and that, if they do, those firearms can be taken by rapid due process," Trump said. Extreme risk protection orders are also known as red flag laws.
The bipartisan bill wouldn't create a federal red flag law, instead it would create grants to encourage officials to join the 19 states and the District of Columbia that have a version of the law. The grants aren't limited to states that have red flag laws.
There is a lot of speculation on whether the former president will announce a presidential campaign. GOP officials and pundits watch how Republican voters respond to his efforts to shape the party's future through endorsements and other statements
It isn't a guarantee that a bill will fail now that Trump is no longer in office. The former president went after McConnell and House Republicans who supported the infrastructure plan.
His attempts did not succeed. The plan was signed by Biden.
