That measure saw 15 Republicans in the Senate join all Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>The law expanded criminal background checks, closed straw purchase loopholes, provided funding to states for gun safety programs and funded mental health services.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Murphy said bipartisanship like that could not have h<a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ened five years ago, and is likely to continue going forward.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Republican Party is in the midst of a change,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think you\u2019ll see more Republicans\u2026 support changes to our gun laws because they really aren\u2019t interested in running in a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/general\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"3\" title=\"General\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">general<\/a> election where the general electorate is so firmly decided,\u201d he continued. \u201cThe general electorate wants universal background checks and an assault weapons ban.
