Murphy: Congress acts as accomplices in ‘murders of children’
Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) said members of Congress were “accomplices” of the murder of children shot because of gun violence in schools.
“We are becoming accomplices of these murders of children,” Murphy said on the Senate floor Tuesday. “When we do nothing, we send a message of acceptance.
{mosads}“We could send a message of enough is enough.”
Murphy’s comments came the same day a shooting at a high school in Troutdale, Oregon left a student and the gunman dead.
Murphy said there have been 37 school shooting in 2014 alone — more than one a week — and 74 since the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn., that left 20 first-graders dead.
