WATCH LIVE: President Biden is speaking at a gun safety summit at the University of Hartford.
“It’s a waiting period on all assault weapons purchases for younger buyers, it invests in state red flag laws that take away guns from dangerous people, it expands the background check system, and it takes guns away from domestic abusers,” Sen. Chris Murphy said.“That’s a lot of money, and so we are building a lot of mental health clinics, all around the country with that money,” Murphy said.
And he said gun violence rates in 2023 are falling so far, in part thanks to the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act. Nelba Marquez-Greene's daughter, Ana Grace, was killed in the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School, and she spoke to the crowd about her daughter and about ending gun violence. Nicole Hockley, whose son Dylan, was killed in the shooting in Newtown, spoke about the Stop School Violence Act that was passed in 2018 and said between the two pieces of legislation, progress continues to be made, but participation from the youth needs to continue.
