"Five years ago today, 26 children and educators at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut were senselessly murdered. In the weeks and months following that awful tragedy, I sat down with some of the families of the victims. Those meetings were the most emotional and moving experiences I've had since joining the Senate. "These families and their stories of lost loved ones inspire me to work across the aisle on common-sense gun safety legislation. For years, members of Congress have talked past one another on gun safety issues. We can and should do more to prevent guns from getting into the hands of criminals, terrorists, and the dangerously mentally ill while respecting the rights of law-abiding citizens. Both sides of the aisle need to come together to achieve common-sense solutions to gun safety." | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
