A growing number of Republicans are starting to show support for some sort of gun safety legislation following the school shooting in Uvalde that left 19 children and two teachers dead.
The Democrat-run U.S. House will likely pass a bill, but ultimately, there needs to be some Senate Republican support to break a filibuster in that chamber.
U.S. Senator John Cornyn, of Texas, is part of a bipartisan Senate group pushing for gun safety legislation during a time when some Republicans and Democrats are miles apart on the issue. In the Dallas Morning News ad, top Republican donors said they support Cornyn’s focus on "red flag" laws and expanding background checks. They add they are "hopeful" that "those two changes may also spur consideration of raising the age to purchase a gun to 21." Last week, President Joe Biden went a step further.
