The Spin

Democratic narrative

The US has once again been reminded that gun violence can reach all American children. This new legislative package is a much-needed and long-awaited example of humanity, decency and action - the GOP should now be held responsible for passing the measures to curb further tragedies.

Republican narrative

This legislation will do nothing to curb gun violence. Most attacks are committed by over 21s and proposed changes to serial numbers and gun registries would be expensive as well as ineffective. These changes won't protect children, they'll only curb Americans' rights.
