In the midst of a series of shootings in the United States, a bipartisan group of members of the Senate has submitted to Congress a bill to tighten gun control, including stricter screening of gun buyers under the age of 21.
According to the American media, if the gun control bill is passed, it will be the first big move in 28 years since 1994.
A bipartisan group of members of the US Senate submitted a bill to Congress on the 21st to tighten gun control.
The bill states that if a gun purchaser is under the age of 21, the state government will be able to tighten history of behavioral problems and mental health reviews, and to confiscate guns from persons deemed to be significantly dangerous. Includes financial support.
In the United States, the idea that "possession of a gun is a right guaranteed by the Constitution" is deep-rooted, and the tightening of gun control has not progressed against the background of opposition from lobby groups.
Following the submission of the bill, the ruling and opposition Senate leaders each issued a welcome statement and made progress toward the passage of the bill.
The bill does not include the drastic tightening of regulations, such as the ban on the sale of high-killing guns originally requested by President Biden, but the US media is semi-automatic once the gun control bill is passed. It is the first time in 28 years since 1994, when the manufacture and sale of rifles was temporarily banned, and it is reported that this will be a big step.
