Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) and other Democrats have taken over the Senate floor to call for tougher gun control laws, and specifically action on keeping people on terrorism watch lists from buying guns.
“I'm prepared to stand on this floor and talk about the need for this body to come together on keeping terrorists away from getting guns ... for, frankly, as long as I can, because I know that we can come together on this issue,” Murphy said in beginning the talking filibuster.
Murphy began speaking at about 11:20, and the filibuster was continuing just before 2 p.m. Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.), Cory Booker (D-N.J.) Bill Nelson (D-Fla.), Dick Durbin (Ill.) and Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) had joined Murphy in speaking.

They only want to use the latest tragedy as an excuse to advance their agenda of confiscating guns from honest, law abiding citizens and taking freedom from law abiding citizens.
Somebody needs to get the hose.
These libtards are so funny. The countdown on their utility in the season of the lame duck is now shrinking to hours.
What about Islamic terrorists control?

We need some serious islam control. The ‘Rats are the party of Jihad.
But keep importing unvetted muslims and illegals..
Tasers, rubber bullets, and K-9s.
Flash bang. Or, as somebody else said in another thread, as long as they’re talkin’, thay ain’t votin’. Yak away assclowns. This is turning into a lose, lose situation and will only increase gun sales. Shoulda bought some stock.
Keep “terrorist” from having gun— What is a “terrorist”? What is the excact unambiguous definition? Is it a subjective decision by a liberal bureaucrat that puts White Christians in a list ?
I am amazed at this Saul Alinsky strategy. It is shameless, We have 49 people slaughtered by a Wahhabi Sect Sunni and they want to ban your ownership of defensive weapons? Really? Ban the damned Wahhabis.
Im all for banning LIBERALS and MUSLIMS from getting guns..where do I sign..first thing I would do is ban these Democrat Senators from having armed guard protection, let them walk the streets like the rest of us, unarmed, for 5 minutes, lets see how quick they go hide behind some skirt for protection
The actions of people with guilty consciences.
Obama owns the massacre at Orlando. He was notified on numerous occasions by numerous advisors to NOT release Moslem terrorists from Guantanamo because our enemies would view that as weakness and it would encourage further attacks on Americans by Moslem terrorists.
Obama ignored those warnings.
Now, we have 50 Americans killed in Orlando by a Moslem terrorist.
Obama owns this massacre.
Him, and the Democrats who elected him.....twice.
Uhhhh. He passed his back ground checks and was sold the weapons he used.
Democrats only like when they have the guns or are giving them away to Mexican cartel henchmen.
66 years old last Sunday. Will be buying my first firearm in a couple weeks. Waiting until I will be properly trained before I leave with it.
If there were a truly unbiased media, the Democrat Party would simply cease to be as they ALWAYS do the wrong thing at the wrong time....
Most Americans KNOW that islam is a very real threat and as of now, gun sales are going thru the ROOF because the majority of Americans KNOW you can’t count on anyone but yourself for protection.....Let the Dems rave on so that men shall know them mad....
While Trump plans to prohibit 'terrorists' from coming into the country...And ensuring Americans have the weapons available to protect themselves from your terrorists that you lame brain politicians insist infiltrate the United States...
Even stupid Howard Stern said..”The WOLVES are at the door and they want to take GUNS AWAY from the SHEEP”!!!
Great, sounds just great in the sound bite moment. Now, tell me again the part about how criminals willing to break dozens of other laws, even fight to the death, are going to somehow magically obey gun control laws. ... No, can’t explain how that works? Then I guess that’s why we are not wasting time, resources, and liberties on gun control. It is fundamentally an idiotic notion.
Muslim control is what they should be concerned with, not disarming the citizens.
