Dem Sen. Murphy: Illinois’ Red Flag Law Could Have Stopped Shooting, But It’s ‘Ineffective’ and Doesn’t Work as Well as Florida’s

On Tuesday’s broadcast of CNN’s “AC360,” Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) stated that the red flag law in Illinois is “ineffective” and “it certainly does appear that there was enough information” about the Highland Park shooter “to cause a court to cause law enforcement to go in and take his guns away.” Murphy also stated that the gun law recently passed by the Senate would give incentives for states to adopt laws “that are right now working in states like Florida, working less well, it seems, in states like Illinois.”

Chicago Alderman: ‘Uncivilized’ Debates about Guns Miss ‘Main Point’ That We Don’t Act on Clear Warnings Like in Highland Park

On Tuesday’s broadcast of the Fox News Channel’s “The Story,” Chicago Alderman and mayoral candidate Raymond Lopez stated that with the Highland Park shooting, “all of the warning signs were there. We just failed to put the pieces together.” And “Too often, we get into uncivilized arguments about gun ownership and we’re missing the main point that oftentimes, all of the keys that we need to recognize what’s going to happen are right there in front of us and we don’t act on them.”
