One of the main Republican co-sponsors of a Senate gun-control bill defended his choice to introduce it, claiming there is “a lot of misinformation” around the provision around red flag laws.

“I want to be clear because there’s been a lot of misinformation, misunderstanding on this point. None of what we are proposing would create a national red flag law. No national red flag law,” Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) said from the Senate floor on Tuesday.
