Graham issues statement on gun reform

The Senate last night took its first procedural vote on the first bi-partisan gun reform measure in years.  The bill would enhance background checks, give authorities up to 10 business days to review the juvenile and mental health records of gun purchasers younger than 21, and pour federal dollars into helping states implement so-called red flag laws.  Senator Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican, explains why he worked with the bi-partisan group, as he put it, “to meaningfully address these problems while protecting the Second Amendment constitutional right to keep and bear arms.”  Graham is a long-time gun owner and considers himself a strong supporter of the Second Amendment.
