Chris Murphy: On gun violence, Republicans ‘don’t seem to give a crap about our children
The Hill ^ | 03-14-2023 | JULIA MUELLER

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) on Tuesday said that Republicans “don’t seem to give a crap about our children” when it comes to addressing gun violence.

“It is beyond me why Republicans who claim to care about the health of our kids don’t seem to give a crap about our children who are being exposed to these epidemic, cataclysmic rates of gun violence,” Murphy told Salon in an interview for “Salon Talks.”

The senator, a longtime proponent of gun control, argued the threat of gun violence exposes children’s developing brains to “war-like levels of trauma.”

“We can’t catalog the epidemic of gun violence merely by how many shootings we’ve had or even how many homicides we’ve had. You have to talk about a generation of kids, specifically in these violence-prone neighborhoods, that we are literally losing because their brains change when they’re exposed to war-like levels of trauma,” Murphy said.

Someone tell this twit that violent crime rates go up where gun control is in effect and vice versa.

“...don’t seem to give a crap about our children who are being exposed to these epidemic, cataclysmic rates of gun violence,””


Isn’t the real problem that our children are being exposed to violent epidemic, cataclysmic rates of criminal violence? Radical thought: if the criminals were locked away as they should be, the kids might be safer?

Kids should grow up hunting. It’s snowflakes that can’t deal with the reality of firearms that have no regard for their potential for damage.

Regarding the inner city kids, I’m past caring, really, but I don’t look for solutions to the problem from those that share the ideology of the ones that created the problem.

Hey Chris, It’s not seem. I don’t give a crap about your children. Seriously, I don’t. I do love and care for my children. That why I raised them in a gun filled home. Good news, last week my daughter got her concealed carry permit. She and her gun toting husband don’t care about your children either, Chris.

Concerned about child’s developing brains - a Democrat. A liberal. Those who have pushed a complete disrespect for the sanctity of life now wondering why there is more death and violence and less respect for life? Causing kids to be confused even about their sex/gender?

Gag me with a spoon.

It should read as “the threat of living in corrupt Democrat run areas exposes children’s developing brains to ‘war-like levels of trauma’ “. Gee Senator, I wonder why there wasn’t this problem at all when kids brought their hunting rifles or shotguns to school for after school shooting practice or hunting?

“it’s not a coincidence that all the underperforming schools in this country are in the violent neighborhoods,”

And virtually all of them are in demonrat strongholds and ran by the demonrat party. They are also almost exclusively in black demonrat neighborhoods. I could care less if black demonrats want to kill themselves and their friends, hell put it on PPV so we can all watch in real time.

Chris has children that we might give a crap about? I thought he might have aborted them all.

They like using FBI stats where “children” are ages 1-19.
I don’t consider 18 and 19 year olds children.

As they abort children and encourage them to change genders….which leads to a 42% suicide rate.
