The senator, a leading force in the Democratic push for gun control, warns the US is ‘headed towards a very dangerous place’

In the interview, Murphy said that it was inexplicable for Republicans to claim they care about the wellbeing of children while thwarting efforts to shield them from gun violence, including by blocking legislation that would restrict sales of assault-style weapons.

“I don’t really think people understand how big a problem this is and how quickly it has come to overwhelm us,” Murphy added. About all that the Republican party could agree on, he continued, was “sticking up” for those who staged the deadly 6 January 2021 attack on the US Capitol as well as politically bludgeoning Joe Biden’s son, Hunter.

– the most sweeping of its kind in three decades – “created an opening” for Biden to issue his directive to Garland without additional legislation. Biden’s administration believes the measure would mean fewer guns being sold without background checks.

This bloke has been sold a pup buy the green public service, and is finding the truth a bitter pill to swallow. Like the treasurer, he will find there is a bus coming.
