U.S. Sen. Todd Young (R-Ind.) said he supports parts of gun control legislation agreed to Sunday by 10 Republican and 10 Democratic senators and is waiting for the final proposal.
The agreement includes support for states to adopt red flag laws, funding for school safety resources and enhanced background checks for gun buyers under 21 years old.
“Senator Young supports these discussions and believes Congress can take prudent steps, including incentivizing states to adopt red flag laws and bolstering mental health resources, especially in schools,” a statement released by Young’s office said. “Senator Young is reviewing the framework and awaits the final legislative text.”

Young last week signed on to legislation introduced by fellow Indiana Republican senator Mike Braun called the Safe Schools Act, which would allow unused COVID relief dollars to be spent on school safety resources.
Braun's office did not respond to request for comment on Sunday's bi-partisan agreement.
