Sen Chris Murphy (D-CT) is one of the most anti-gun members of Congress. He has repeatedly gone after Americans’ desire to protect themselves and their loved ones with a firearm. It’s no surprise, however, that his argument against gun ownership backfired on Tuesday when he spoke about this new book on MSNBC. He ended up proving precisely why Americans need to bear arms, especially with the riots that are plaguing our nation.
“This book is not a memoir. It’s really a story about how we got to this moment. It’s called ‘The Violence Inside Us’ because the conclusion that I come to is that America is a violent place. We’ve always been a violent place,” he explained. “We’ve been bathed in violence since the time the American settlers exterminated American tribes.”
The senator said Americans have “chosen to pour kerosine on a smoldering fire by allowing these very dangerous weapons to flow throughout the nation.”
According to Murphy, these firearms are “creating more opportunities for ordinary arguments to turn into deadly moments.”
It's absolutely amazing that Murphy is going to try to say that America would be safer without firearms. Look at the looting and rioting that's taken place across the country – Portland, Seattle, Atlanta, Minneapolis, Kenosha. All of those places are war zones because so-called "peaceful" Democrats and their mob are setting the cities ablaze. They're demolishing small businesses, neighborhoods and people's livelihoods.
In his attempt to argue Americans should cease to own firearms, he actually made the argument about why Americans should utilize their Second Amendment rights. He explained precisely what gun owners have said all along: there may come a time when you need to defend yourself and your loved ones. It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it.
Small towns like Kenosha never planned on being the epicenter for a riot or national attention. These people were living their lives, supporting their families and the next thing they know people from out-of-state are showing up to destroy where they work, live and raise their family.
Every politician supporting any such gun grabbing measure needs to have their taxpayer funded guard details de-funded with specific restrictions that they cannot hire badged law enforcement (current or retired) in any capacity.
Exterminated the American tribes?
Most died of disease they had no immunity for..........
When they come for you Chris, dial 911.
When seconds count...
Step 1) Let’s ban all guns — You don’t need a gun to protect yourself, that’s what the police are for.
Step 2) Let’s defund the police.
An armed society is a polite society
Barney Fife ‘em. Their security details can carry revolvers, with one bullet in their pocket. Seems like common sense. Ammo should be stored separated from guns until it’s needed.

The smartest people in the land, the Connecticut voters, delivered him to Washington, so that the rest of us rubes and yokels could bathe in his genieus.

“Chris Murphy’s the imbecile of the Senate.”
He’s Barbara Boxer without the personality
Sen Chris Murphy (D-CT)
He swore to support and defend the Constitution, but clearly he is doing the opposite. Why is he still in office?
Every politician from Connecticut in DC are antigun. And Connecticut had a great gun industry from the 1700s. Idiot voters...
Come and take them, Chrissy.
There were protests/counterprotests in Virginia between groups that have seen a lot of violence between them in other parts of the country. Except in Virginia both sides showed up heavily armed. Not a single punch was thrown.
Funny how everyone being armed kept everyone from escalating.
“...since the time the American settlers exterminated American tribes.”
He’s been a Connecticut pol since 2003, so Connecticut must love him.
