(Washington, DC) — U-S Senator Chuck Grassley says he is hopeful to hear of efforts to reach a compromise on gun control legislation. The Iowa Republican says Republican Senator John Cornyn of Texas and Democratic Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut are meeting this week to establish a framework to find common ground on a response to recent mass shootings. Under legislation authored by Grassley called “The Eagles Act” trained professionals would be tasked with working to identify and manage threats at the high school level before they occur. The Eagle is the mascot for the Parkland, Florida school where a student killed 17 people.
