“I’m confident that the bill we passed a week and a half ago is going to save lives. It will make a difference. But it is only the beginning. Today is a reminder of how much more work that we have to do. We have now broken the back of the gun lobby. We now have made possible changes in our gun laws that can keep our communities safer. Today is a reminder that we still have a long road to travel.”
— Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), quoted by Politico, in response to the July 4th mass shooting in Highland Park, Illinois that left six dead and dozens injured.
