Gun Violence: A Deadly Reality
No elected official should score political points off the grief of families while blocking the very policies that could protect them.
The recent mass shooting in Minneapolis, where two children, Fletcher Merkel, 8, and Harper Moyski, 10, were killed outside a Catholic school, is a tragic reminder of the urgent need for action.
When elected officials dismiss the call for stronger gun laws as “political theater,” they ignore the lived reality of families torn apart by gun violence.
Richard Blumenthal and Connecticut advocates called on lawmakers to strengthen gun laws and ensure schools are safe places for children.
Some politicians responded by calling Sen. Blumenthal’s remarks “faux outrage” and a “sad attempt to politicize this tragedy.”
