WASHINGTON — Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn said Thursday he’s looking forward to discussing ways of combatting gun violence with his colleagues across the aisle, but cautioned that there are limits on the types of proposals he could support.
“Restricting the rights of law-abiding citizens is not going to make our communities or our country any safer,” Cornyn told reporters. “So we need to focus on the specific problem.”
Cornyn said he planned to connect with Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., who has taken the lead for Democrats in reaching out to Republicans interested in seeking a compromise.
