Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) mentioned the Brown College capturing was a results of President Donald Trump’s “dizzying marketing campaign to extend violence on this nation.”
Murphy mentioned, “In the event you take a look at states like Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, California which have stronger legal guidelines, we now have gun violence charges, homicide charges, mass capturing charges which might be two to three to 4 instances decrease than states which have free gun legal guidelines. And lots of the weapons which might be utilized in our states for gun crimes come to our states from these states which have a capability for criminals and other people with severe psychological sickness to purchase weapons. So what we all know is that stronger legal guidelines do work. Since we handed that invoice in 2022, the primary invoice in 30 years that strengthens the nation’s gun legal guidelines, gun violence charges and mass capturing charges have come down on this nation. However this isn’t stunning as a result of over the past yr, President Trump has been engaged in a dizzying marketing campaign to extend violence on this nation. He’s restoring gun rights to felons and individuals who have misplaced their capability to purchase weapons. He eradicated the White Home workplace of gun violence safety, and he has stopped funding psychological well being grants and neighborhood anti-gun violence grants that Republicans and Democrats supported in that 2022 invoice. So he has been engaged in a reasonably deliberate marketing campaign to attempt to make violence extra doubtless on this nation. I feel you’re sadly going to see the outcomes of that on the streets of America.”
