Chris Murphy

Murphy, who came to Congress representing Sandy Hook's district, called 'bullshit' on Republicans for focusing on mental health not guns.

This community in Texas will never ever be the same. “Sandy Hook will never ever be the same. You cannot explain this through a prism of mental illness because we’re not an outlier on mental illness … We’re an outlier when it comes to access to firearms and the ability of criminals and very sick people to get their arms on firearms. He spoke about the lasting trauma inflicted on students, schools and communities. “We don’t have any more mental illness than any other country in the world. It is our choice to let it continue.”

"Our hearts are with the families and community as this tragic story unfolds." Nowhere else do parents have to talk to their kids as I have had to do about why they got locked into a bathroom and told to be quiet for five minutes just in case a bad man entered that building. "... Just days after a shooter walked into a grocery store to gun down African American patrons, we have another Sandy Hook on our hands. We're an outlier when it comes to access to firearms and the ability of criminals and very sick people to get their hands on firearms. "This only happens in this country and nowhere else, nowhere else do little kids go to school thinking that they might be shot that day. When Murphy made the comments, the death toll stood at 14 children dead.

Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut repeatedly asked senators one question Tuesday after the shooting in Uvalde, Texas: "What are we doing?"

“What are we doing? “What are we doing?” Why are we here?” “What are we doing?” “What are we doing? “Find a path forward here. The Sandy Hook victims would be in high school this year. “You should know, there is a moral price for inaction.” “Nowhere else do parents have to talk to their kids, as I have had to do, about why they got locked into a bathroom and told to be quiet for five minutes just in case a bad man entered that building. Nowhere else do little kids go to school thinking that they might be shot that day,” Murphy said. “There are more mass shootings than days in the year.

Why? Why are we here if not to try to make sure that fewer schools and fewer communities go through what Sandy Hook has gone through, what Uvalde is going through,” he said. Murphy represented Newtown, Connecticut, as a U.S. congressman when a gunman killed the nearly 26 elementary school students and educators. "Nowhere else do little kids go to school thinking they might be shot that day.”
