The Senate has advanced bipartisan gun legislation.
Fourteen Republicans voted for the bill, which is opposed by the NRA. Sens. John Boozman and Tom Cotton, both major beneficiaries of NRA cash, voted no.

It’s the most significant gun bill since the 1990s, though it does nothing about guns except for addressing the “boyfriend loophole” that currently allows only married domestic abusers to be denied the sale of a firearm.
The Post reports that the bill released Tuesday would bar a misdemeanor domestic-violence offender who has a “current or recent former dating relationship with the victim” from owning or buying a gun.
