Sen. Ed Markey (D-Mass.) is calling for an increase in the number of seats on the Supreme Court to “ensure” that “gun safety” laws are not struck down.
“We have to take very seriously the threat which an illegitimate, far-right Supreme Court poses to gun safety in our country,” Markey said on Thursday.
He added, “We have to expand the Supreme Court to get back the two stolen seats that the Republicans and Donald Trump took from the American people so that we can ensure that when we put gun safety laws on the books, they are not overridden by the Supreme Court of the United States.”

Markey’s comments come days after a gunman opened fire in Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas, killing 19 children and two adults.
The shooting is the second deadliest shooting in an elementary school in U.S history.
