枪支安全倡导者和组织周日迅速称赞由两党参议员小组宣布的反枪支暴力框架，但一些人呼吁采取进一步行动。
该协议如果通过成为法律，包括规定这将增加对心理健康服务的投资，资助学校安全资源，并扩大联邦背景调查系统。它还将鼓励制定“红旗”法律，以防止对自己或他人构成危险的人拥有枪支。
最近在纽约布法罗发生的大规模枪击事件，以及得克萨斯州乌瓦尔迪重新努力通过旨在解决枪支暴力的立法。
然而，周日公布的协议反映了民主党人对国会的控制有多狭窄，因为它将适度的新枪支限制(而不是该党青睐的更广泛的禁令)与其他条款相结合，以获得共和党的选票。
前亚利桑那州众议员Gabby Giffords是大规模枪击事件的幸存者，在推特上写道，“十一年前，一颗子弹永远改变了我的人生。我的选民中有六人被杀，还有几个受伤。自那以后，国会没有做任何事情。
“但是今天，我们的国家向前迈出了重要的一步，宣布了一个关于枪支安全的两党框架。这项关于枪支安全的两党协议可能是30年来国会首次就枪支安全采取重大行动。”
2011年，吉福兹在亚利桑那州图森市附近与选民开会时被击中头部。
其他枪支控制倡导者也赞扬了参议院的协议，但呼吁国会采取更多措施。
“在一个不那么破碎的社会，每当有人想买枪时，我们都可以要求进行背景调查，我们将彻底禁止突击步枪，”我们生活的三月联合创始人大卫·霍格说，他是2018年佛罗里达州帕克兰市马乔里·斯通曼·道格拉斯高中枪击案的学生。
“但是，如果因为这些规定，哪怕是挽救了一条生命，或者阻止了一次集体枪击事件，我们相信这是值得为之奋斗的...这项法案是30年来的第一个此类法案，应该是国会工作的开始，而不是结束，”霍格在他的声明中说。
同样，枪支改革支持者弗雷德·古滕贝格的女儿詹姆也在帕克兰阵亡推特慎重批准:“虽然这并不重要，但这是30年来的一个突破。这是枪支安全立法，将拯救生命，减少枪支暴力事件。”
妮可·霍克利，在20世纪60年代失去了她的儿子迪伦2012年桑迪胡克小学大规模枪击事件，还说她支持妥协。
霍克利是桑迪胡克承诺枪支暴力预防组织的首席执行官。她发微博:“它不会解决所有的枪支暴力，但证明了我们可以合作，代表了自20世纪90年代中期以来最重要的新联邦枪支限制。”
一些全国性组织强调，新框架可以如何打破国会多年来在枪支立法上的僵局，保守派表示，他们不想违反他们对第二修正案的解释。
“这是一个历史性的新开端，打破了枪支行业的束缚……这个框架值得称赞，但这不是我们努力的终点。我们不会休息，直到这个框架成为令人满意的立法，拜登总统签署该立法成为法律，”布雷迪防止枪支暴力中心主席克里斯·布朗在一份声明中说声明。
在一个联合声明对于他们自己来说，一切为了枪支安全和母亲要求的行动被称为“历史性的”交易。

“如果今天宣布的框架成为法律，这将是国会在漫长而致命的26年里通过的最重要的枪支安全立法，”枪支安全每镇主席约翰·范布拉特说。
“我们正在打破国会的僵局，证明枪支安全不仅仅是一项好政策，也是一项好的政治，”妈妈要求行动创始人香农·沃茨在她的声明中说。
Advocates, survivors applaud 'new beginning' with Senate's gun deal -- but want more done
Gun safety advocates and organizations on Sunday quickly applauded the anti-gun violence framework announced by a bipartisan group of senators -- but some called for further action.
The agreement, if passed into law,includes provisionsthat would increase investments in mental health services and fund school safety resources as well as expand the federal background check system. It would also incentivize creating "red flag" laws to prevent people who are a danger to themselves or others from having firearms.
Recent mass shootings in Buffalo, New York, andUvalde, Texas, have renewed efforts to pass legislation intended to address gun violence.
However, the deal released Sunday reflected how narrowly Democrats control Congress, in that it mixed modest new gun restrictions -- rather than the broader bans favored by the party -- with other provisions in order to earn a filibuster-proof amount of Republican votes.
Former Arizona Rep. Gabby Giffords, a mass shooting survivor,wrote on Twitter, "Eleven years ago, a bullet changed my life forever. Six of my constituents were killed, several more injured. And Congress has failed to get anything done since.
"But today, our country takes an important step forward with the announcement of a bipartisan framework on gun safety. This bipartisan agreement on gun safety could be the first time in 30 years that Congress takes major action on gun safety."
Giffords was shot in the head at a meeting with constituents near Tucson, Arizona, in 2011.
Other gun control advocates also praised the Senate deal -- which is pending a further agreement on the draft bill itself -- but called on Congress to do more.
"In a less broken society, we would be able to require background checks every single time someone wants to buy a gun, and we would ban assault rifles outright," said March for Our Lives co-founder David Hogg, who was a student during the 2018 Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting in Parkland, Florida.
"But if even one life is saved or one attempted mass shooting is prevented because of these regulations, we believe that it is worth fighting for ... This bill, the first of its kind in 30 years, should be the beginning and not the end of Congress' work," Hogg said in his statement.
Likewise, gun reform supporter Fred Guttenberg, whose daughter, Jaime, was killed at Parkland, alsotweeted measured approval: "While much is not in this, the result is a 30 year breakthrough. This is gun safety legislation that will save lives and reduce the instances of gun violence."
Nicole Hockley, who lost her son, Dylan, in the2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School mass shooting, also said she supported the compromise.
Hockley serves as the CEO of the Sandy Hook Promise gun violence prevention organization. Shetweeted: "It won't solve all gun violence, but proves we can work together and represents the most significant new federal firearms restrictions enacted since the mid-1990s."
Some national organizations emphasized how the new framework could break through a years-long stalemate on gun legislation in Congress, where conservatives say they don't want to violate their interpretation of the Second Amendment.
"This is a historic, new beginning that breaks the stranglehold of the gun industry … This framework is laudable, but it is not the end of our effort. We will not rest until this framework becomes satisfactory legislation and President Biden signs that legislation into law," Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence President Kris Brown said in astatement.
In ajoint statementof their own, Everytown for Gun Safety and Moms Demand Action called the deal "historic."
"If the framework announced today gets enacted into law, it will be the most significant piece of gun safety legislation to make it through Congress in 26 long and deadly years," the president of Everytown for Gun Safety, John Feinblatt, said.
"We're breaking the logjam in Congress and proving that gun safety isn't just good policy – it's good politics," Moms Demand Action founder Shannon Watts said in her statement.
