Senators agree on draft of gun violence bill after snags on abortion, 'red flags,' moreConnecticut Sen. Chris Murphy, the top Democratic negotiator on a pending package to address gun violence, told reporters on Tuesday afternoon that a deal had been reached on the legislative text -- and that the bill will be out soon. Murphy declined to give more specific timing on when the draft bill would be introduced ahead of what leaders have signaled would be a quick vote. Democratic leadership, including Illinois Sen. Dick Durbin, have been clear they need bill text by Tuesday to get to a vote before the July 4 recess. PHOTO: Sen.
