Congress sends landmark gun violence compromise to Biden

By ALAN FRAM Associated PressWASHINGTON (AP) — The House sent President Joe Biden the most wide-ranging gun violence bill Congress has passed in decades on Friday, a measured compromise that at once illustrates progress on the long-intractable issue and the deep-seated partisan divide that persists. “No legislation can make their families or communities whole,” House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y.. said of those victims. Fifteen Senate Republicans backed the compromise, but that still meant that fewer than one-third of GOP senators supported the measure. But it still let both parties declare victory by demonstrating to voters that they know how to compromise and make government work. The measure expands the use of background checks by rewriting the definition of the federally licensed gun dealers required to conduct them.
