by from on (#5ZPF4)
Senator Chris Murphy has spoken with confidence on 'finding that common ground' with Republicans to support gun laws following the Uvalde school shooting on Tuesday.
Murphy called for a 'popular uprising of citizens' to put pressure Republicans when he attended a Thursday gun safety rally and press conference on Capitol Hill.
Democratic Senate majority leader Chuck Schumer is expected to bring expanded background checks and potentially 'red flag' laws to Congress that allow people to petition a court to temporarily take guns away from a person at risk of hurting themselves or others.
