WASHINGTON — There are signs of life in the Senate.

After double mass shootings this weekend, two bipartisan gun safety bills in the Senate have gotten the support of President Trump, according to the bill sponsors.

Sens. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) and Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) said they had separate conversations with Trump on Monday morning about moving their bipartisan commercial background check bill.

“The president showed a willingness to work with us on the issue of strengthening background checks,” the pair said in a statement.

And Trump ally Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) said Monday he got the go-ahead from the president to move forward with “red flag” protection order legislation that he’ll author with Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.).

Their forthcoming legislation would create a grant program to encourage states to create standards for law enforcement to seek a court order to block someone who poses an “imminent threat of violence” from possessing a firearm.

“I spoke with the president this morning about this proposal and he seems very supportive,” Graham said Monday.

Graham’s bill would only allow police to petition the courts for removal of a person’s guns or the right to buy them. Some states already have laws that allow family members to petition courts.

“I think these protective orders have a lot of hope to solve some of these cases,” Graham told Fox News on Monday.

“This is not going to be a federal law. It will be a federal grant program. To get the federal grant, you have to have due process. There has to be an imminent threat of harm to oneself or to others before the police — and it can only be the police — go to the judge. You have a hearing. You got to have a ‘more likely than not’ standard that there is an imminent threat of bodily injury,” he explained.

“Seven days later, you have a full-blown hearing. Clear and convincing evidence where the gun owner can come in and defend themselves and the government has to prove by clear and convincing evidence that the person is disturbed and a danger to themselves or others. If that test is met, they can seize the guns and get the person the help they need.”

Graham cited the Parkland, Fla., shooter being known to police, but cops not being able to do anything to get his guns.

“We’re trying to come up with a serious solution to a serious problem. We’re trying to empower police officers to do something before it’s too late — with plenty of due process. We’re not trying to take anybody’s guns away from them. We’re trying to get guns out of the hands of people who are dangerous, who actually may kill themselves or somebody else,” Graham said.

As for the text of his legislation with Blumenthal, he said, “we’re getting close.”

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) already authored a red flag bill in the Senate and she netted 27 co-sponsors. None are Republicans.

Unlike Graham’s proposal, Feinstein’s bill does not limit petitioners to just police, but allows for family members and others authorized by the state’s red flag standards to petition courts as well.

Like Graham’s bill, it is based on grants for states to create red flag laws. Those states would each have their own standards for family and law enforcement to get lawful, temporary court orders to have guns removed from individuals who pose a danger to themselves or others.

Seventeen states have such laws already, but Ohio and Texas do not.

Feinstein urged a vote in the Senate as soon as possible on the background check and red flag laws — especially given Trump’s signals of support.

“Both of those bills are ready to go and are important steps to address the epidemic of gun violence we’re witnessing,” Feinstein said.

The House already passed universal background check legislation in February.

Toomey, meanwhile, said calling the Senate back from August recess could backfire because time is needed to build support for any gun control legislation in the GOP-led upper chamber.

“This isn’t going to happen tomorrow,” Toomey told reporters Monday. “If we force a vote tomorrow, then I think the vote probably fails and we actually set back this whole effort.”

The Manchin-Toomey bill would expand background checks to gun shows and internet sales, but it has more generous exceptions than the House bill on temporary transfers and gifts between family members.

The bill failed in the Senate in 2013 by a 54-46 vote — short of the 60 needed to advance.

Toomey said Trump called him Monday and expressed encouragement to try again.

“It’s long overdue, but this is a moment where we should move ahead,” Toomey said. “And that is doing more to keep guns out of the hands of people who should not have them in the first place — violent criminals, dangerously mentally ill people, terrorists. They shouldn’t have access to firearms and we should be doing all that we can to prevent them from getting them.”
