Other Democratic senators came to the floor for the filibuster and continued the push for action on guns. I'm speaking on the Senate floor to honor the victims of the Orlando attack & demand the Senate address gun violence. @SenateDems @ChrisMurphyCT #filibuster — Jim McDonald (@JimGMcD) June 15, 2016"why do you want to be a US Senator if you want to ignore this" @ChrisMurphyCT speaks the TRUTH! Washington (CNN) Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy filibustered early into the morning Thursday on the Senate floor, vowing to stay "for as long as I can" until Congress acts on gun control legislation. The filibuster follows the deadly shooting at an Orlando gay club where 49 people were killed and and more than 50 others wounded.
