“What are we doing?” Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) asked in a powerful speech in the Senate just after Tuesday’s horrific massacre of innocent people at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, the deadliest attack since the massacre by Sandy Hook in Connecticut almost a decade ago.

Why are you spending all this time running for Senate? United States, why bother to get this job, to put yourself in a position of authority, if your response as this massacre increases, while our children run for their lives, we do nothing “What are we doing? Why are you here, if not to solve a problem as existential as this? This is not inevitable. These children did not have bad luck. This only happens in this country, and nowhere else. instead, the young children go to school thinking that they will be shot that day. “
