Senator Chris Murphy, a leading supporter of stricter gun laws, said hours after an August 27 deadly Minneapolis school shooting that legislation enacted during the Biden administration led to a decline in mass shootings.
“There is something deeply wrong with a country that chooses to make running for their lives part of kids’ back to school ritual,” Murphy wrote on X. “When we finally passed a gun safety bill in 2022, mass shooting began to drop. But it was an unacceptably small start. We must do more.”
