Barr expects Trump-backed gun proposals on Capitol Hill

Attorney General William Barr said he expects the Trump administration to reach some sort of agreement on gun control with leaders in Congress when they return from summer recess next month.

"Yes, I do have an idea," Barr said Wednesday in Dallas when a reporter asked about the potential for gun legislation, following a string of deadly mass shootings across the country.

"The president has been consulting broadly, particularly with members of Congress and the leadership on the Hill," Barr continued. "And when Congress returns from recess, I expect that the administration, as well as leaders on the Hill, will be advancing some proposals."
