Senators are trying to reach a final deal this week on a gun violence bill, which would expand background checks for people between 18 to 21 years old and give incentives to states to pass so-called red flag laws to take guns from potentially dangerous people.
Here & Now's Celeste Headlee speaks with Rebecca Pringle, president of the National Education Association, which represents three million educators, about what educators think about the plan.

"Is the NRA opposed to the gun control bill?
The White House has signaled its interest in the bill and the NRA is not opposed, removing two big obstacles to passage; Senate leaders are planning to move ahead with a vote. Like a lot of proposals being discussed, it was crafted as a response to a prior shooting."

Unfortunately, they are not telling you the whole story. These same Red Flag laws will have weapons removed from legal gun owners as well. Plus red flag laws break or disavow several Constitutional Amendments.
