Following the tragic rise of gun violence in the country, Senator Chris Murphy said Sunday the talks in the US Senate on gun safety violence are on track—with Democrats and Republicans working toward a “meaningful change” on gun laws, mental health issues and school security.
Democrat Senator Chris Murphy of Connecticut is leading the talks with his Republican counterpart Senator John Cornyn of Texas.
No compromise on Second Amendment Rights
With the Bipartisan talks progressing on political proposals, the Senate does not likely include any actions on assault weapon ban and background checks.
Senator Murphy mentioned that the Senate is not compromising on the Second Amendment Rights.
The Second Amendment of the US Constitution protects the right to keep and bear arms.
In CNN’s State of the Union interview, the Senator said that the talks also focus on implementing stricter ‘red flag’ laws, saying, “What we're talking about is trying to make sure that dangerous or potentially dangerous individuals don't have their hands on weapons.”
