In 2026, Congress passed a significant bipartisan gun control bill aimed at enhancing background checks and restricting access to firearms for individuals with a history of domestic violence. The legislation also allocates funding for mental health programs and community violence intervention initiatives. This marks a notable shift in federal policy following years of stagnation on gun control measures.
