June 22, 2022 at 01:50 Senate Arms Compromise A group of U.S. Senate negotiators has agreed on a proposal to tighten gun laws. The vote will probably take place before the weekend. The cross-party group has been working on the wording for several weeks. On Tuesday, the group presented the proposal. They believe it will receive enough support to be passed in the Senate. The hope is that the vote can take place before the weekend, before the senators go on a two-week vacation, so that President Joe Biden can put his signature on it already next week. The proposal includes an extended background check for arms buyers under the age of 21, NOK 110 billion in funding for mental health care, and NOK 20 billion for school security measures. (NTB)
