Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema applauded the passage of her gun control bill, dubbed the Safer Communities Act.

On Friday, President Joe Biden announced he will sign the gun control bill into law on Saturday before heading out to Europe.

“I’m grateful for the partnership of Senators Murphy, Cornyn, and Tillis – together we crafted a commonsense solution to community violence that protects Americans’ constitutional rights and saves lives. Passage of our bill with support from both sides of the aisle demonstrates what we can achieve when we work together to solve problems,” said Sinema.

Congressman Tom O’Halleran voted to pass the gun control measure.

“I was commissioned as one of the youngest homicide detectives in the history of the Chicago PD; I can’t begin to describe the things I saw, the things I still see when I close my eyes,” said O’Halleran following his vote. “I was the person that went to a mother’s door to tell her that her child had been killed. These are moments I can never forget.

Rep. Raul Grijalva threw his support behind the bill.

Not all Arizona representatives supported the bill. Both Congressmen Andy Biggs and Paul Gosar blasted the bill.

Sinema’s bill includes funding for red flag laws.
