Luke Garrett, NPR News, Washington.

Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy, a Democrat, tells CNN he's not hopeful the GOP-controlled Congress will pass new gun legislation.

Murphy says the Trump administration's defunding of mental health and gun prevention programs is making the country more dangerous.

Republican Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana tells CNN Congress already passed a firearm safety law in 2022.

According to data from the Gun Violence Archive, this year there have been at least 43 shootings on college or university campuses that caused injury or death.

I was actually just probably right behind me playing video games with some friends.

I knew it was protection day and I knew that there may have been stuff going on, but I didn't.

It's probably the first year, maybe three or four years that I wasn't like, oh, well, I'm going to keep my phone by me.

I wasn't like worried about it.

It was just like, OK, like I know what it is.

I will look at the end of the day, see who got protected or like what moves were made and whatnot, like don't really use anything.

Twitter trade rumors that much anymore.

I'm playing video games and I'm, I see like, I have my phone like perked up cause I'm like on a call with some friends talking and I see Craig Breslow's name pop up.

I go, Oh, I'm getting traded.
