Even some supporters were reportedly surprised the bill made it through the Senate at all. And now it heads to a tied House, where GOP leadership has already signaled it has little chance of surviving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So what you\u2019re looking at is a bill that:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Passed the Senate<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/illinois-firearm-registration-law-faces-constitutional-challenge-in-federal-court\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"minnesota-senate-gun-ban\" title=\"Minnesota Senate Passes Sweeping Gun Ban\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"4607\">Faces major constitutional challenges<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>And may never clear the House<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>At the same time, the legislation isn\u2019t just about bans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also includes roughly $20 million for school safety and additional funding for mental health support, something both sides have pointed to as part of the solution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Still, the core fight remains the same.  Do restrictions on firearms prevent violence or do they miss the people actually committing it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s the debate playing out here.
