RESTRICTION SUMMARY: AP CLIENTS ONLY
SHOTLIST:
US SENATE TV - AP CLIENTS ONLY
Washington, D.C. - 17 September 2019
1. Wide, US Senate floor
2. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Brian Schatz, (D) Hawaii:
"And according to (US Senate Majority) Leader (Mitch) McConnell, he says if the president took a position on a bill so that we knew we would actually be making a law and not just having serial votes, he'd be happy to put it on the floor. Now let me just say that's not actually how the Senate is supposed to operate. We're supposed to originate the legislation. We're supposed to be the world's greatest deliberative body. We're supposed to determine what kind of law to make. We're not supposed to play 'mother may I' with the president of the United States and wait for clearance before we even initiate a debate."
3. Wide, US Senate floor
4. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Chris Murphy, (D) Connecticut:
"In my state of Connecticut, we passed a law requiring all handgun buyers to pass a background check as part of a permit process. And studies show that there was a 40% reduction in the gun homicide rate after Connecticut passed that law."
5. Wide, US Senate floor
6. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Chris Murphy, (D) Connecticut:
"OK. Let's take a look at Missouri, which did the opposite. A few years ago. It repealed its purchase permit law that requires you to get a background check with every sale of a weapon in Missouri. And guess what happened? A year later gun homicides went up by 23% controlling for every other factor that could have explained it. In fact during that period of time gun homicide rates were going down in all the states around Missouri and they went up in Missouri. And then they found out that in fact, in other states what did go up in those other states were the number of weapons used in crimes that came from Missouri."
7. Wide, US Senate floor
8. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, (D) Rhode Island:
"86% of Americans support implementing what we call 'red flag laws,' that allow a judge to remove guns from someone who is determined to be a danger to himself or others. You could barely get 86% of the Senate to agree on the day of the week. 89% support expanding federal background checks to cover private sales and to close the gun show loophole. 86% support an assault weapons ban."
9. Wide, US Senate floor
10. SOUNDBITE (English) Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse, (D) Rhode Island:
"The National Rifle Association spent 30 million dollars supporting (US) President (Donald) Trump. No wonder they can undo all of our work with a simple phone call to the Oval Office."
11. Wide, US Senate floor
STORYLINE:
US Senate Democrats held a late night session on Tuesday to call for a debate on gun violence and gun control legislation.
Hawaii Senator Brian Schatz said the Senate should not "wait for clearance" from US President Donald Trump before proposing a debate.
Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy highlighted the cases of his own state and also Missouri to show how background checks on gun sales can be effective.
But Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said on Tuesday that Congress remains "in a holding pattern" on gun control as lawmakers await proposals from the White House.
