## Summary

The article says candidates who support stricter gun laws won several Senate races in states carried by Donald Trump in 2024, as Democrats gained control of both chambers of Congress. It argues that the results could affect federal gun policy, including proposals to raise taxes on certain firearms and accessories.

Among the winners it names are Texas Democrat James Talarico, South Carolina Democrat Annie Andrews and Ohio Democrat Sherrod Brown. It reports that Michael Bloomberg donated at least $36 million to Everytown for Gun Safety, and says Kansas Democrat Adam Hamilton defeated Republican Roger Marshall after gun-control supporters spent $17 million more on Hamilton’s behalf. It also points to a proposal by Senator Chris Murphy to restore taxes on suppressors and some types of firearms, raising them to $4,709 per item.
