Until the Senate shows it is willing to pass a measure on gun control to curb gun violence in the United States, Senator Chris Murphy of the US state of Connecticut said he will not leave the floor of the Senate.
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — Murphy started speaking during the time when senators were scheduled to vote on a motion to proceed with a Commerce, Justice and Science appropriations bill for fiscal year 2017.
“I’m prepared to stand on this floor and talk about the need for this body [the US Senate] to come together on keeping terrorists away from getting guns… for frankly as long as I can because I know that we can come together on this issue,” Murphy said on Wednesday.
