here. joining us now, democratic senator chris coons of delaware. we want to put the question to him about what congress can do. senator, thank you so much for being here. people are fed up, people are fed up, the idea that parents have to endure school shooting after school shooting, not knowing if their kids will be safe when they send them off to school. what can congress do? alisyn, thank you for your coverage, it s been riveting and heartbreaking. i m grateful for the young people who have spoken up so forcefully. this has been a very hard week for me in the senate. i m angry and disappointed in our senate, our president and the refusal to step forward and act in response to very real and heart-wrenching pleas from high school students in park land and their families and from dreamers across the country. first to the park land shooting, going back to the vegas shooting
it s not nice, it s not good. the white house insisted, james, time and time again now is not the time to have the situation about gun control, why don t you, the media, respect the victims? isn t finding solutions the ultimate respect for victims? i think for even arden supporters of the president, it s hard not to see the contrast. that vegas shooting on october 1st, and then had the new york attack on october 31st. with that bump fire stock, that shooter out in vegas was able to basically do an equal amount of damage to the most dangerous, the most casualty-causing conflict we fought in iraq, which was the battle of fallujah november to december of 2004.
