Sen. Chris Murphy: Gun Control Will Make America Safer Than Trump Travel Ban
PJ Media ^ | 1-30-2017 | Liz Sheld

Posted on 01/30/2017 5:28:14 PM PST by Sir Napsalot

Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT), a foe of the Second Amendment, appeared on MSNBC's Morning Joe today to discuss President Trump's temporary travel ban. Murphy's opinions about Trump's executive order included the claim that gun control would make America safer than the Trump travel ban (starts around 3:18):

(video link embedded)

Said Murphy:

If folks get to this country and we suspect them having connections to terrorism, that they shouldn't be able to get an assault weapon.

Of course, neither immigrants nor anyone else will be getting an "assault weapon" anytime soon, as they do not exist: it's a made-up, fairy tale category of firearm. Murphy went on to say that the right to keep and bear arms was a "huge liability" in our law today.

First, why in the world would we want to let into this country those suspected of having connections to terrorism?

Sen. Murphy seems to welcome those suspected of terrorism or have connections to terrorism, but think they shouldn't have the right to get assault weapons.

Then, Sen. Murphy dropped his mask and think anybody inside the country shouldn't have the RKBA because it is a huge liability.

(more excerpt, the money quote)

Murphy ..... also shared his ideal U.S. policy on immigration:

I’d argue that we should go towards the discussion about the pathway in which there’s absolutely no screening.

Right. We'll just outlaw the black markets which sell them, idiot. How about we just not let them into this country in the first place? Not nice enough to terrorists or something?

I say, Murphy, give up your weapons/armed guards, guarded/gated communities first. Then we will consider your suggestion.

Senator Murphy proves once again Democratic senators aren’t that bright. No brains required. Naiveity and wealthy silver spoon background preferred. No brains or spine required.

Murphy is insane, along with the other politicians named Murphy (think she is from Oregon or Wash. State), and Murray (NY).

Insanity seems to be a requirement to be a Democrat so we should look at the Democrats in Congress as one big “Insanity Caucus” as well as many being Marxists (Progressive Congressional/Democratic Caucus; the Black Congressional Caucus; and some in the Asian-American Caucus - i.e. Rep. Judy Chu (D-Cal) a Red Chinese agent of influence, among a possible few others).

I know psychologists and psychiatrists who have gone insane trying to analyze and help the Democrats. I warned them - you can’t help the insane, esp. if they are Democrats. Their insanity knows NO LIMITS.

Or if the Democrats had their own TV show, it would be called “The Outer Limits of Insanity”. They have “control” of their minds so you cannot touch the “sanity button” on your TV. Just turn them off and vote for the Republicans. It will save your sanity, though there are a few RINOs who should be in institutions, with nice padded cells and striped straightjacks.

First Senator, tell me exactly what an “Assault Weapon” is?

Is it a baseball bat as it hits the side of your skull?

Is it a Truck than runs over you?

Is it a knife cutting off your head?

Please enlighten us Deplorable types.
