🧐🔎House Democrats are looking to pass a wide-ranging slate of gun reforms this week as a rushed response to the growing number of mass shootings since the ones in Texas and New York. But a vast majority of those requests to curb gun violence aren’t on the table in bipartisan Senate talks, with Republican negotiators saying any potential deal will need to be narrower.

The “Protecting Our Kids Act,” bill includes banning high-capacity magazines, raising the age limit from 18 to 21 for certain semi-automatic firearms, and codifying executive orders that restrict bump stocks devices that allow semi-automatic rifles to fire more rounds of ammunition faster and “ghost guns” that don’t have unique serial numbers.

But Senate Republicans won’t support bans or heavy limitations on purchases of firearms, and they’re unlikely to support a federal red flag law.
