The agreement includes community violence intervention funding to break the cycle of violence, sponsored by Congressman Steven Horsford.\n\n\"Although too many lives have been taken from their loved ones from senseless gun violence before we got to this point, I am hopeful that a bipartisan agreement will help propel Congress to finally take action and pass meaningful reforms,\" said Congressman Horsford. \"So many Americans have been personally impacted by everyday gun violence and mass shootings. In recent weeks, we saw mass shootings in Uvalde, TX, Buffalo, NY, and Tulsa, OK. In 2017, my hometown of Las Vegas experienced the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history. Nearly 30 years ago, my father was shot and killed by senseless gun violence.\n\n\"While this agreement will not end all gun violence, it is a step in the right direction,\" continued Congressman Horsford. \"It will bring real change. The people of Nevada and America have overwhelmingly called for commonsense gun safety measures that save lives and it is time for Congress to act.\"\n\nThe agreement includes:\n\nFunding to incentivize state-level crisis intervention orders.\n\nInvestments in mental health support for children and families.\n\nFunds for mental health programs in schools.\n\nProtections for victims of domestic violence.\n\nClarifications to crack down on the unlicensed sale of firearms.\n\nAdditional vetting to buy a gun for individuals between the ages of 18-21.\n\nPenalties for the illegal straw purchases of guns.\n\nIncreased funds for school security.\n\n# # #\n\nMEDIA CONTACT", 1, "2026-03-30T01:40:41Z", "2026-04-08T02:39:01Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://horsford.house.gov/media/press-releases/horsford-hopeful-about-bipartisan-gun-violence-prevention-package-in-congress"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.4789148699492216, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
