Among the proposals on the table are investments in mental health care and school safety and \u201cmodest but impactful\u201d changes in gun laws, said Sen. Chris Murphy.<\/em><\/p>\nWASHINGTON \u2014 Sen. Chris Murphy, who is helping lead Senate talks on\u00a0gun control, said lawmakers don\u2019t plan to bring any bill to the floor that would ban assault weapons or include comprehensive background checks but are actively\u00a0working on legislation\u00a0that would include a range of other measures.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re not going to put a piece of legislation on the table that\u2019s going to ban assault weapons, or we\u2019re not going to pass comprehensive background checks,\u201d Murphy, a Connecticut Democrat, said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union.” \u201cBut right now, people in this country want us to make progress. They just don\u2019t want the status quo to continue for another 30 years.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nHe’s right about the ‘status quo’ Gun control laws must be repealed.<\/em><\/p>\n
