Senators Toomey and Murphy Discuss Current Scope of New Senate Gun Control Measures to Be Completed This Week
Republican Senator Pat Toomey (R-PA) and Democrat Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) appear on Sunday broadcasts to discuss the most likely framework the Senate group is putting together for new gun control legislation.
The general convergence appears to surround: •a possible raising of the age to purchase a semi-automatic rifle (definition to be determined) from 18 to 21; •new federal red flag laws and/or financing to state government to construct ‘red flag’ laws; •increased federal funding for mental health screenings and facilities; and •new federal background check requirements for gun purchases.
Pat Toomey appeared on Face the Nation, while Chris Murphy appeared on CNN with Jake Tapper. Both interviews below, starting with Pat Toomey on CBS.
