This proposal is significant because it breaks a 30-year log jam regarding gun legislation.
"Over the last decade there's been attempt after attempt to pass broader, stronger provisions," said Democrat Delaware Senator Chris Coons.
"I think the approach that Senator and Senator took as they were initially negotiating with and was, 'Let's explore what's possible. What can get more than 10 Republican votes?' Because frankly, to come up short in this moment, to deliver literally nothing again was just too hard a prospect to contemplate," said Coons.
The proposal wants to close the"boyfriend loophole" so that anyone convicted of abuse against their partner can't buy a gun.
