Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) told CNN’s “State of the Union” Sunday that the Sandy Hook shooting caused a “sea change” in the debate over gun control.

“Newtown fundamentally changed things, and the NRA just doesn’t get this,” he said.

Murphy said lawmakers who would previously never consider gun control are open to it now, naming Rep. Phil Gingrey (R-GA) as an example.
