Senator Murphy cites successful firearms policies, urges Americans not to avert eyes from Uvalde tragedies

Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy says in a floor speech recounting the timeline of a mass shooting at Robb Elementary School that amidst the failure to learn from Uvalde and Parkland, there was good news from states with gun safety laws like universal background checks, safe storage, and red flag laws that have fewer gun deaths, and after a bipartisan bill's passage in 2022, that urban gun murders dropped 12% in the biggest one-year decline, proving that focusing on keeping guns away from dangerous people instead of arming communities can save lives, while also acknowledging the grief and disgrace of Uvalde.
