| "I think there is something dying inside the soul of this country when we refuse to act at a national level shooting after shooting." - Sen. Chris Murphy signaled Sunday there could be a bipartisan path forward for federal red flag laws or background checks on gun purchases. Welcome to the "Face the Nation" Five at Five newsletter. Scroll down for your five takeaways from today's broadcast of "Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan" on CBS. Did someone forward you this? Sign-up at cbsnews.com/email. 1. Murphy: This may be the opportunity to "pass something significant" on gun safety  Sen. Chris Murphy, who is leading bipartisan talks on a gun safety measure following the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas, told moderator Margaret Brennan that he's seen more Republicans "coming to the table and talking this time" than at any time since the nation's worst school shooting at Sandy Hook a decade ago. What we asked: "You've said in some powerful remarks this week that what you are looking to do is, to use your word, incremental change when it comes to gun safety. You are talking to Republicans about red flag laws, expanding background checks. Can you get 10 Republicans to vote with you on either of those two measures?" What Murphy said: "I think we can. I think there is something dying inside the soul of this country when we refuse to act at a national level shooting after shooting. And I do think there's an opportunity right now to be able to pass something significant. I've seen more Republican interest in coming to the table and talking this time than at any other moment since Sandy Hook. It is true, you know, Republicans are not willing to support everything that I support, like banning assault weapons. But I really think that we could pass something that saves lives and breaks this logjam that we've had for 30 years, proving to Republicans that if you vote to tighten the nation's gun laws, the sky doesn't fall for you politically, in fact, you probably will get a lot of new additional supporters. So red flag laws are on the table. Background checks, expansion are on the table, as well as things like safe storage of guns. I think we can get something done, but we don't have a lot of time." Why it matters: In the wake of the mass school shooting in Uvalde last week, there is a sense of urgency and focus in Congress to get something passed now. Currently, the measures on the table are red flag laws, an expansion of background checks and perhaps safe storage of guns. 2. Uvalde county commissioner would "welcome" federal review into response  Hours before the Justice Department announced it would conduct a review into the response to the Uvalde shooting, County Commissioner Ronald Garza said Sunday he would "welcome" a federal investigation into the response, although he said his "shattered" community needs to focus on healing right now. What we asked: "Some lawmakers here in Washington are calling for more resources to do that. But in your district, you have an entire police unit that's dedicated to the school district. What was the problem - a lack of security?" What Garza said: "You know, perhaps it was a lack of security, training. You know, I think there's multiple factors that might be involved here. But you know, right now, it's easy to point fingers right now. It's easy to play the blame game. But, you know, our community, I think, needs to focus on the healing right now. And, yes, we do welcome the investigation. I understand Congressman Joaquin Castro is asking the FBI to intervene. And I welcome that investigation, I think we need to learn more. As tragic as this may seem, we need to learn from this, you know, and parents deserve answers." Why it matters: Questions have arisen about the confused timeline of law enforcement's response to the shooting. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, who initially praised the actions of police on the scene and credited them with saving lives, said Friday that he was "livid" about being "misled" by officials immediately after the shooting. 3. Hutchinson: "Multiple layers of security" are needed to protect children at school  Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson, who once ran an NRA task force to stop school shootings in the wake of Sandy Hook, suggested Sunday that "multiple layers of security" are needed to protect children, which he said would help avoid "human error" that has occurred in other shootings. What we asked: "After Sandy Hook and the massacre in Connecticut, you ran the NRA task force on how to stop school shootings. So you've thought a lot about this. There was an armed officer assigned to the elementary school in Uvalde. And then you had a police force response, where they did not confront the shooter who was carrying an AR-15. In Buffalo, the armed guard who was at that grocery store confronted the shooter, but was killed, in Parkland, Florida, there was an armed officer on site who did not intervene. Doesn't this show that this is an insufficient solution to the problem?" What Hutchinson said: "Well, it certainly shows that you have to have multiple layers of security to protect the children. And there's also the factor of human error. And that's the reason that you've got to have different layers, you can't rely upon just one technique. School safety is something that we all have to focus on coming out of the incredible tragedy that we see in Uvalde, we have to look at how we can better secure our schools. And it is about the single point of entry that by blocking it open allowed the gunman to come in, it is about the mental health issues where we've got to do better to identify those that are potentially a mass killer. You've got to have our private sector, internet providers to do better in using technology to identify these kinds of dangerous violent communications much quicker. And then of course, we have to be able to train our officers properly. I know we're gonna have to learn a lot more facts as to some of the things that happened in Uvalde. Let's be patient, let's learn from them. But we can't give up on our most precious resource in protecting our children." Why it matters: In the wake of the Uvalde shooting that left 19 children and two adults dead, there is a renewed sense of urgency for bills to address school safety or gun control. In the wake of the news that a bipartisan group of senators is working on a package for gun bills, Hutchinson said he would welcome a bipartisan group of governors to meet on the issue.
4. Parkland shooting survivor, mother of Sandy Hook victim reject increasing police at school  This Sunday, Nicole Hockley, the mother of Dylan Hockley, who died in the Sandy Hook shooting, and the co-founder and CEO of Sandy Hook Promise Foundation, and Parkland shooting survivor Jaclyn Corin said they were not in favor of increasing police presence at schools as a response to the Uvalde shooting. What we asked: "Do either of you believe that the answer here or even part of the answer here is more police presence in schools?" What Corin said: "I mean, I do not. I mean, obviously, it's despicable that it took so long for police to enter in Uvalde. And I remember feeling so angry at the armed school resource officer at my school who refused to enter the building. And that goes to show that evidently having armed security present does not prevent mass shooters from carrying out violence. And the reality is, is if we're talking about what to do, once a shooter has access to a school, it's just too late, more police in schools arming police officers, arming teachers, especially is not the answer." What Hockley said: "I absolutely agree. It's about how do we get ahead of it by the time they get to the school, it's too late. And there's not enough evidence to suggest that armed security at the school will be anything other than another casualty or just not helpful at all." Why it matters: Many members of the Republican party this week have been advocating for increased police presence at schools, armed teachers, and fewer access to exits and entrances at school buildings as a way to increase security for children, rather than implementing gun safety methods. 5. Margaret Brennan: "We pray that none of us ever bury our babies"  This week, moderator Margaret Brennan described the "numbing regularity" of mass shootings in America, and noted, "as we drop off our own kids at school, the question among many parents remains: How do we protect them? And is this really the best we can do?" |
