U.S. Attorney General Calls Senate Gun Legislation 'Meaningful Progress'

WASHINGTON, 14 June 2022, (TON): U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland endorsed a bipartisan Senate gun-safety proposal as meaningful progress as he announced new gun-trafficking charges in an effort to crack down on the gun violence plaguing America.

Garland said at a news conference "we do think that at least the framework that I read about this morning with respect to the bipartisan negotiations would be meaningful progress in that direction.”

Garland's comments came one day after a bipartisan group of senators announced a gun safety bill designed to win approval by Republicans and Democrats alike.

President Joe Biden's administration is facing mounting pressure to take action in the wake of last month's mass-shootings at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, and a supermarket in Buffalo, New York.
