Twenty American senators, Republicans and Democrats, announced Sunday an agreement on several provisions to better regulate the use of firearms. These minimum measures come following recent killings that shocked the United States.
These measures, which require a supermajority to be approved in the Senate, include an encouragement for states to withdraw weapons from people deemed dangerous as well as others aimed at mental health and safety in schools, but do not include the essential to the reforms demanded by the Democrats.
Joe Biden, however, hailed insufficient but “significant” “advances”. According to him, it would be “the most significant text on gun control to be voted on in Congress in decades”.
