<p>Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) wasted no time on Sunday in blaming the horrific Brown University shooting — which had occurred less than 24 hours earlier — on President Donald Trump.</p>
<p>Murphy joined CNN anchor Dana Bash on &#8220;State of the Union,&#8221; where he claimed that the uptick in violence was the direct result of a president &#8220;engaged in a dizzying campaign to increase violence in this country.&#8221;</p>

<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s not shocking, because over the last year, President Trump has been engaged in a dizzying campaign to increase violence in this country,&#8221; Murphy began, clearly insinuating that the Trump administration was encouraging violence.</p>
<p>&#8220;He&#8217;s restoring gun rights to felons and to people who have lost their ability to buy guns, he eliminated the White House Office of Gun Violence Protection, and he has stopped funding mental health grants and community anti-gun violence grants that Republicans and Democrats supported in that 2022 bill,&#8221; Murphy continued.</p>
<p>&#8220;He has been engaged in a pretty deliberate campaign to try to make violence more likely, and I think you&#8217;re unfortunately going to see the results of that on the streets of America,&#8221; Murphy said.</p>

<p>Bash pressed him on his assertion, saying, &#8220;That&#8217;s a pretty big statement, he&#8217;s in a campaign to make violence more likely?&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Of course! I mean, he&#8217;s knowingly restoring gun rights to dangerous people. He is cutting off grants that have bipartisan support to try to interrupt violence in our cities, or to try to get necessary mental health resources to families and children in need,&#8221; Murphy claimed. &#8220;The evidence tells you that when you stop funding mental health, when you stop funding community anti-gun violence programs, when you give gun rights back to dangerous people, you are going to have increase in violence. That is knowable and that is foreseeable.&#8221;</p>
<p>Murphy was referencing a proposed rule — published by the Justice Department in July — that would restore Second Amendment rights only after evaluating whether or not someone actually poses a threat.</p>
<p>&#8220;For too long, countless Americans with criminal histories have been permanently disenfranchised from exercising the right to keep and bear arms—a right every bit as constitutionally enshrined as the right to vote, the right to free speech, and the right to free exercise of religion—irrespective of whether they actually pose a threat,&#8221; said Attorney General Pamela Bondi at the time. &#8220;No longer.&#8221;</p>
