A bipartisan group of 20 United States senators—10 Republicans and 10 Democrats—has announced that they've reached a "breakthrough agreement on gun violence." Lawmakers have faced enormous pressure to act in the wake of the horrific school shooting in Uvalde, Texas that left 21 dead, 19 of them children. And it looks like for the first time in 30 years, they have delivered on this front. The agreement, which was announced Sunday, includes enhanced background checks for gun buyers under 21, funding for red-flag laws, and a provision barring domestic abusers from buying guns, as well as billions of dollars for mental health resources and safety measures at schools.
