The Senate has passed with bipartisan support a Bill to address gun violence, which marks a much awaited and the most significant firearms legislation in the United States in nearly three decades.
The Bipartisan Safer Communities Act was passed by 65 to 33 votes in the Upper House on Thursday night with 15 Republicans joining Democrats in support.
The bill is expected to pass in the Democrat-controlled House of Representatives next, and will become law once President Joe Biden signs it.
