McConnell: Background checks and ‘red flag’ laws may be on Senate’s agenda in the fall
After several calls to bring the Senate back from recess to consider gun violence legislation following last weekend's mass shootings in El Paso, Texas, and Dayton, Ohio, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says he and President Trump are considering several options, including background checks, and are "anxious for an outcome" when lawmakers return to Capitol Hill in the fall. McConnell won't cut short the Senate vacation, as some lawmakers and 2020 presidential candidates have asked.

But he told a Kentucky radio station Thursday that Trump called him and they discussed several ideas, including background checks and "red flag" laws that allow authorities to seize firearms from someone deemed a threat to themselves or others. The president, he said, is "anxious to get an outcome and so am I." Rush Limbaugh, meanwhile, has urged Trump not to trust Democrats to come to any compromise.
