Shortly after the 2019 El Paso shooting and 2019 Dayton shooting, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham announced his support for such legislation, stating that "grants will be given to law enforcement so they can hire and consult with mental health professionals to better determine which cases need to be acted upon." Feinstein and Rubio urged Graham to take up their bills. Blumenthal welcomed Republicans' openness to the plan as a "bipartisan breakthrough" and "major promising development."
