The talks are fluid and wrapped in some secrecy, but Marianne reports this morning that “among the proposals under consideration” are:

Changes to the background check system
Additional investments in mental health
Additional investments in school security
Federal grants for states to establish red flag laws

“I’m not talking about restricting the rights of law-abiding citizens under the Second Amendment,” Cornyn told Marianne. “I’m talking about identifying people with criminal and mental health problems that are a threat to themselves and others.”

Cornyn seems serious about passing something. Failure, he said, “will be embarrassing.”
