Chris Murphy

"You have entire communities whose biologies are being changed by gun violence."

"You have to think not about what you mean but about what people hear."

"They have fundamentally different problems than other people."

"Ive listened to Republicans say over and over again that we should focus on enforcing the laws that we have. The great hypocrisy of that statement is that they are deliberately handcuffing the enforcement agency that oversees current law."

"Your thoughts should be about steps to take to stop this carnage. Your prayers should be for forgiveness if you do nothing -- again."

"There is not something fundamentally different about the American DNA that causes us to have a level of gun violence that is 20 times that of other first-world nations....It happens here because we choose to allow it to happen. We have a celebratory culture of guns, and the loosest firearms laws in the world."

"Dont be disheartened. Your voices are being heard and we will keep fighting."

"The world is more chaotic today in part because the United States doesn’t help you when it comes to promoting stability."

"We bomb your country, creating a humanitarian nightmare, then lock you inside. That’s a horror movie, not a foreign policy."

"When the U.S. is an active participant in a foreign war, what comes with that is an increased responsibility to try to rescue civilians from the harm done in part by U.S. munitions and U.S. targeting."

"A progressive foreign policy isn’t just looking at the back-end of terrorism, but is also looking at the front-end of terrorism."

"There is a big open space in the Democratic Party right now."
