    I believe Biden is insane. Facts speak for themselves.


    The lead Republican negotiator for what would be the US Senate's
    first gun control bill in a generation has walked out of talks
    with Democrats.

    Texas Senator John Cornyn has played a key role in drafting the
    framework of a proposed firearms bill following mass shootings
    in Texas and New York.

    Leaving Washington, he said: "I'm through talking."

    The lead Democratic negotiator said he was still hopeful the
    bill could go to a vote next week.

    But Mr Cornyn's walk-out has placed a question mark over the
    legislation's future. Axios, a political outlet, reported
    earlier on Thursday that conservative colleagues of the Texas
    senator are frustrated at his handling of the talks and want
    time to consider the text of any proposal before it is
    introduced to the chamber floor.

    The legislative window to pass a new law is narrowing as
    November's mid-term elections loom.

    A bipartisan group of senators has been working to draft the
    text of a bill for lawmakers to vote on before they leave for a
    two-week 4 July recess.

    But they have become bogged down in recent days, as Democrats
    and Republicans disagree on provisions that would strip certain
    Americans of their guns.

    "It's fish or cut bait," Mr Cornyn told reporters on Thursday.
    "I don't know what they have in mind, but I'm through talking."

    Earlier in the day, he warned that time was running out to reach
    an agreement.

    "We're about run out of our rope here, and we got to make some
    final decisions today if we're going to be able to get this on
    the floor next week," he told radio host Hugh Hewitt.

    The flurry of action comes after 19 young children and two
    adults were killed at a school in Uvalde, Texas, less than two
    weeks after a racially motivated shooting at a grocery store in
    Buffalo, New York, left 10 dead.

    Connecticut Democrat Chris Murphy and North Carolina Republican
    Thom Tillis told reporters later on Thursday that the group was
    still inching towards an agreement.

    "To land a deal like this is difficult. It comes with a lot of
    emotions," said Mr Murphy, who is leading the Democratic
    negotiations.

    "It comes with political risk to both sides. But we're close
    enough that we should be able to get there."

    Senators say disagreements remain over incentives for states to
    enact so-called red flag laws, which allow police to seize guns
    from people deemed dangerous. Talks are also ongoing to close
    the "boyfriend loophole", which permits abusive partners to buy
    guns.

    If both the Senate and House of Representatives can agree on a
    bill, it would go to President Joe Biden's desk to be signed
    into law.

    The Republicans still aren't serious about gun safety. I believe no
    bill should be passed when it's as half hearted as this one appears to
    be.
