U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) Speaks on Gun Violence Prevention

I’m happy to report that my alma mater Trinity College welcomed U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) and Igor Volsky, the founder and executive director of Guns Down America, to a Gun Violence Prevention Forum last month.

From the article linked above: Igor Volsky, the founder and executive director of Guns Down America, with U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) at the Gun Violence Prevention Forum at Trinity College. Murphy, who is publishing a book in January 2020 on the history of violence in the United States called The Violence Inside Us, discussed the role he has played in the gun reform movement and answered questions on the issue of gun violence in America today. “We need to realize that gun violence is on the radar of politicians and the Democrats are doing everything in their power to implement strict background checks,” said Murphy, when asked what actions politicians in Washington, D.C., plan to take to abate public shootings.

IMO, Murphy is one of the most sincerely committed U.S. politicians who is dedicated to matters that most Americans care deeply about.  His other platforms include: choice and women’s health, climate change mitigation and environmental protection, election reform, quality education, optional Medicare for all, immigration reform, LGBTQ equality, tax reform and improved care for veterans.

A proud moment.
