Quiver AI Summary
Senator Blumenthal introduces new legislation: U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal has led a group of 25 senators in proposing the "Background Check Completion Act," aimed at eliminating a loophole permitting gun sales without completed background checks.

Background on gun sales: The legislation addresses cases where background checks take longer than 72 hours for those over 21 and 10 days for those under 21. Senator Blumenthal stated, "If you haven’t passed a background check, you shouldn’t be able to purchase a weapon," emphasizing the necessity of the legislation.
Support for the bill: The act is co-sponsored by several Senate members and endorsed by various gun safety organizations, including Everytown for Gun Safety and Giffords. A similar measure has been introduced in the House of Representatives by U.S. Representative James E. Clyburn.
