second-amendment-restrictions-are-off-the-table
Congress is talking about changing the nations gun laws but wont touch
the idea of banning assault weapons.
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) said on Sunday the current negotiations in
response to the recent spate of mass shootings are spurring the most
serious and productive talks hes ever been a part of.
Ive never been part of negotiations as serious as these, Murphy said.
There are more Republicans at the table talking about changing our gun
laws and investing in mental health than at any time since Sandy Hook.
CONGRESSIONAL CHAMBERS APPROACH NEW GUN LAWS DIFFERENTLY
Major conversations on the table are about hashing out what Congress might
do to expand background checks for people looking to purchase guns,
establishing red flag laws, and making large investments in mental health
systems, Murphy said. Texas does not have a red flag law in place, though
Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) said he would be open to talking with Murphy to
learn more about them.
Cornyn recently tweeted about Senate negotiations over gun control
restrictions. Even with all the cooperation, there won't be a vote to
restrict anyone's Second Amendment rights, Cornyn said.
On Sunday, Murphy said he agreed with Cornyn.
Were not going to do anything that compromises peoples Second Amendment
rights, Murphy said. Were not going to do anything that compromises the
ability of a law-abiding American to be able to buy a weapon. What were
talking about is trying to make sure that dangerous or potentially
dangerous individuals dont have their hands on weapons.
Jake Tapper pressed Murphy on gun statistics showing that most gun deaths
in the country are suicides and more murders are committed using handguns
than AR-style semi-automatic weapons.
Murphy returned to the emphasis on red flag laws, saying they are
probably the most important here.
Lawmakers are also considering raising the age requirement for purchasing
AR-style semi-automatic weapons from 18 to 21, which is the current
requirement for purchasing a handgun.

President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed
dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.
