Bipartisan gun control law sent for Biden’s signature after House vote

Fourteen Republicans vote with majority for first major gun reform legislation in nearly 30 years

The US House on Friday passed a bipartisan bill to strengthen federal gun regulations, bringing an end to decades of congressional inaction and sending the historic legislation to Joe Biden's desk.

Passage of the bill came a day after the supreme court overturned a New York law regulating handgun ownership, a significant blow for proponents of gun reform.
