Check out our latest edition of Accountable where we check in on the federal gun bill that passed last year. Gave us a lot to think about while we reported this.
The 80-page bill known as the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act was signed into law on June 25, 2022. At the one-year mark of its passage, we ask lawmakers what impact the bill has had so far and what could be next on the issue of guns.
