CBS News reports:
Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut sees the opportunity for Congress to pass “something significant” on gun safety for the first time in decades, he said on “Face the Nation” Sunday. Murphy, who is leading bipartisan talks on a gun safety measure now, told moderator Margaret Brennan that he’s seen more Republicans “coming to the table and talking this time” than at any time since the nation’s worst school shooting at Sandy Hook a decade ago.
There is a sense of urgency and focus in the discussions now, in the wake of the mass school shooting in Uvalde this week. “I think right now, parents in this country and kids are desperate for us to do something,” Murphy told Brennan. “They’re frightened, they’re anxious, and we will just add to their anxiety if nothing happens again. I think we can get something done, but we don’t have a lot of time.”
