Chris Murphy: Why on Earth Do You Have to Go Through More Paperwork in this Country to Own a Dog than an Assault Weapon?

COOPER It s interesting ░░░░░░░░ mean earlier when asked ░░░░░░░░ what we can do ░░░░░░░░ make sure this doesn ░░░░░░░░ happen again the Minneapolis ░░░░░░░░ chief said he he ░░░░░░░░ t have an answer ░░░░░░░░ do you I mean ░░░░░░░░ do you point to ░░░░░░░░ that 2022 legislation that ░░░░░░░░ think worked MURPHY Well ░░░░░░░░ thing we did as ░░░░░░░░ mentioned is that we ░░░░░░░░ know essentially required young ░░░░░░░░ under the age of ░░░░░░░░ to go through a ░░░░░░░░ rigorous background check and ░░░░░░░░ waiting period before they ░░░░░░░░ their hands on a ░░░░░░░░ Now we re learning ░░░░░░░░ the facts here but ░░░░░░░░ does look like this ░░░░░░░░ bought the guns shortly ░░░░░░░░ they carried out this ░░░░░░░░ And so waiting periods ░░░░░░░░ licensure on all weapons ░░░░░░░░ makes it a lot ░░░░░░░░ for somebody who is ░░░░░░░░ crisis to run out ░░░░░░░░ get a weapon and ░░░░░░░░ a crime like this ░░░░░░░░ we ve seen that ░░░░░░░░ being more careful and ░░░░░░░░ rigorous before you transfer ░░░░░░░░ gun to somebody you ░░░░░░░░ that makes sense I ░░░░░░░░ why on earth do ░░░░░░░░ have to go through ░░░░░░░░ paperwork in this country ░░░░░░░░ own a dog than ░░░░░░░░ assault weapon What we ░░░░░░░░ know is that wrapping ░░░░░░░░ around youth in particular ░░░░░░░░ are at risk that ░░░░░░░░ One of the things ░░░░░░░░ did in that bill ░░░░░░░░ 2022 was we put ░░░░░░░░ lot of money on ░░░░░░░░ ground to look at ░░░░░░░░ whose lives were falling ░░░░░░░░ to look at groups ░░░░░░░░ kids who were trending ░░░░░░░░ violent behavior and we ░░░░░░░░ services and supports around ░░░░░░░░ and we saw urban ░░░░░░░░ go down all across ░░░░░░░░ country So it s ░░░░░░░░ a matter of not ░░░░░░░░ what works We actually ░░░░░░░░ what works keeping guns ░░░░░░░░ of the hands of ░░░░░░░░ people more rigorous training ░░░░░░░░ periods and more support ░░░░░░░░ in our communities and ░░░░░░░░ our schools. That works.”
