Blumenthal: ‘We Know Background Checks Work’ and ‘More Guns Aren’t the Solution’

EXCERPT:

BLUMENTHAL: "I think what Alisyn said earlier, let’s go with what works. We know background checks work. It has been proven in Connecticut, my state, where we’ve reduced serious crime as a result of the strong measures that have been introduced like background checks, ban on assault weapons such as were used in this horrific massacre in Texas. We know also that more guns are not the solution. And I defer to my law enforcement colleagues, the professionals who look with great disdain on the idea that arming everyone is going to be a way to stop crime. In fact, it failed to stop these 26 tragic deaths in Texas."
