President Joe Biden said he would sign a framework bill on gun control and urged Congress to pass the measure on Sunday.

The measure, which is backed by 10 Republicans in the Senate, would eliminate the straw purchasing of firearms, fund mental health resources for families and children, enhance protections of domestic violence victims, and increase funding for school safety, and initiatives around mental health.
