The senate framework does nothing to address protection of lawful commerce and arms act, which is the law that gives the gun industry pretty broad ity from lawsuits. It doesn't address an assault weapons ban, or anything related to large capacity magazines. And in my perspective, i think some low hanging fruit that was a real missed opportunity is not addressing the default proced loophole. Right now, under federal law, if a background check does not come back within three days, the default is to sell the firearm in the absence of complete information. So all told, d this is significant, but nowhere near big enough, sweeping enough legislation that could change this picture of gun violence in the united states.
