Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) argued on Wednesday that Congress should think twice about passing new gun control regulations because future budget cuts in cities will constrain the size and quality of police forces across the country, thwarting effective response to violence.

“There will be less police officers, not more in the next decade,” said Graham at a Senate hearing on gun violence.
