For the first time in decades, new gun safety legislation has won support from Republicans and Democrats in the US Senate. But the bill was attacked by far-right Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene - who had a fiery exchange with siobhankennedy4.
The bill will bring in tougher background checks for people under 21 buying guns and follows the mass shooting in a Texas school last month where an 18-year-old killed 19 students and two teachers.
The bill was attacked by far-right Republican senator Marjorie Taylor Greene, who went on to have a bizarre exchange with our Washington Correspondent Siobhan Kennedy.
