Dem senator: I’m ‘furious’ at Congress for its inaction on gun control

Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said on Monday after the deadly mass shooting in Las Vegas that he is “furious” at Congress for refusing to act on gun control.

Blumenthal, whose state of Connecticut was the location of the deadly mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in 2012, said he is “more than frustrated” over Congress’s inaction on gun violence.

“Although many details of this mass shooting remain unclear, one thing is certain: yet again, we are watching in horror as another American community is torn apart by the terrible devastation wrought by a gunman,” Blumenthal said in a statement.

“It has been barely a year since what was previously the largest mass shooting in American history — the deadly attack at Pulse nightclub. In the interim, thousands more have been lost to the daily, ruthless toll of gun violence.”
