WASHINGTON, D.C. – As we await the final text on the Senate's bipartisan deal on gun legislation, members of Florida's Congressional Delegation are weighing in on the proposal. 

Senators Marco Rubio and Rick Scott were not part of the team of 10 Republicans who worked with 10 Democrats in the Senate to come to an agreement on gun reform legislation. Scott's Office told us, Senator Scott "will review" the proposal. And, Rubio says he's happy that a key point of the plan includes federal funding to encourage states to set up their own "red flag laws."

"We'll wait for the final bill to be written, but I think it's good news that it includes a core idea that I've been working on for four years. I think it's an important way to prevent these attacks," Rubio said. ​But Rubio says he also thinks it should include the Luke & Alex School Safety Act and the Eagles Act.

As it stands now, the Senate proposal would enhance background checks for gun buyers under the age of 21, provide funding for school safety and mental health programs, and expand the number of domestic abusers who would be unable to buy guns. 

Last week the House passed a far broader set of safety measures, including a ban on high-capacity magazines and raising the minimum age to buy a semi-automatic rifle to 21. But that package had almost no chance of passing the Senate. 

Florida's Democrats in the House are now expressing support for the bipartisan deal in the Senate. 

Congresswoman Kathy Castor said, "There is much more to be done to save lives, but I am pleased that the Senate framework includes critical elements of the House’s work on gun violence prevention including implementing incentives for states to establish extreme risk protection order laws, an enhanced review process for gun-buyers under 21, and a provision to ban straw purchases."

​Democratic Congresswoman Stephanie Murphy tweeted, "I’m heartened by the outline of this bipartisan bill to reduce gun violence in America. It shows progress is possible, even on the toughest issues, when we put people above partisan politics. Now let’s get it done."

And, Democratic Congressman Charlie Crist echoed that saying, "This framework is an important first step. We need to keep up the pressure until it's law."​

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer says once the bill text is finalized he will move it to the floor for a vote "quickly.​"
