"Sen. King and Sen. Heinrich propose comprehensive gun safety bill to curb mass shootings"

Senator Angus King of Maine has introduced new legislation called the GOSAFE Act, which aims to regulate the manufacturing and sale of firearms in the United States. The bill focuses on limiting the number of bullets a gun can hold rather than banning specific models, with rifles and shotguns restricted to magazines carrying no more than 10 rounds, and handguns allowed up to 15 rounds. The proposal comes in the wake of a mass shooting in Lewiston, Maine, and is intended to close loopholes that allow gun manufacturers to evade bans on specific weapons. The bill faces resistance from gun rights advocates, but King believes that public opinion and the need for meaningful gun reform will eventually lead to its passage.
