The bipartisan gun legislation headed to President Joe Biden received support from only one member of Alabama's congressional delegation. alpolitics
Sen. Richard Shelby, shown here speaking on the Senate floor in 2021, said the bipartisan gun legislation passed by Congress could be a threat to the Second Amendment.No Alabama Republicans in the Senate or House voted in favor of bipartisan gun legislation that has passed Congress and now heads to President Joe Biden’s desk to be signed into law.
Sen. Richard Shelby said the bill could be a first step toward chipping away at the rights protected by the Second Amendment. Sen. Tommy Tuberville said the bill was rushed through the Senate and that accelerated process was a factor in his opposition. The red flag provisions included in the bill have not proven to be effective in states that already have those provisions in place, Rep. Robert Aderholt of Haleyville said.
“Now is the time to address school safety as well as public safety in our country by enforcing current state laws against threats of violence and focusing on the underlying mental health issues many of these criminals have in common. Unfortunately, this legislation is another example of left-wing Democrats taking advantage of a tragedy to advance their agenda under the guise of dealing with the epidemic of violence afflicting our nation.
Rep. Barry Moore of Enterprise appeared at a press conference Thursday with members of the House Freedom Caucus on to speak against the bill.
