Murphy Statement On ATF's Dangerous Proposed Roll Back of Gun Regulations

WASHINGTON– U.S. Senator Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) on Wednesday released a statement on the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF)’s new proposed gun rules and regulations: “President Trump likes to talk about law and order, but his administration is pulling out all the stops to make it easier for criminals to get their hands on guns. These new rules are just a gun lobby wish list printed on ATF letterhead and they’ll make all of our communities less safe. The historic drops we’ve seen over the last few years in gun violence and crime thanks to commonsense gun regulations are now at serious risk, but Trump doesn’t care so long as his supporters in the gun lobby are getting rich.”
