McConnell has personally expressed his tolerance for raising the age to 21 to buy a semi-automatic rifle, but the proposal is unlikely to enter into a final deal.

Instead, Republican negotiators are considering making the boy’s records accessible during the background check, and people under the age of 21 will have to wait until the background check is complete before the purchase is completed. There is a possibility.

McConnell publicly refused to say where he was standing to grow older.

“It’s not surprising to know that I’m not going to sit here and try to negotiate with you,” McConnell told reporters on Tuesday. “We are waiting to see again if we can get results that are directly related to the problem that brought this problem to the fore.”

“Leader McConnell does not support any particular policy,” said Doug Andres, a McConnell spokesman who was asked to comment.
