Sen. Chris Murphy: Not Enough Votes to Ban ‘Assault Weapons’
Breitbart ^ | 04/04/2023 | AWR Hawkins

An “assault weapons” ban lacks the votes to pass in the Senate, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) admitted during an appearance Sunday on CBS News’ Face the Nation.

Murphy said, “I want to ban ‘assault weapons.’ I think it’s just absolutely unconscionable that we allow these ‘weapons of war’ to be in commercial circulation. But there’s not the votes to do that.”

He continued, “But what are there the votes to do?

Good...The way things are going in this country, we’re going to need them. America has become a very dangerous place since the cops have been taken down by the commie left politicians and their asstivists.

No, you dissembling sunovabitch, you want to ban ALL weapons. Be a man. Admit it.

I think

No, you don't. You "feel". Logical thought is beyond you.

it’s just absolutely unconscionable that we allow these ‘weapons of war’ to be in commercial circulation.

It's absolutely unconscionable that We the People would allow you, our worthless servant, to disarm us. You should be trembling in fear of what we might do if you displease us.

Don’t put it past Republicans to do something stupid and ruin their chances in the next election. They’re not called the stupid party without reason.

They are probably realistically 4 or 5 votes away. It’ll never be constitutional not that that means anything in 2023

Should we ban streetlamps? Some UConn student took down one and used it to vandalize the student union. 🤓

I'm proud of my university for winning their 5th national titles, however I hate the rioting some morons did!!

By his definition, a pen is an assault weapon because it was used to write orders in a war?

The right of The People to possess “weapons of war” was the whole point of the Second Amendment...

If there is one issue where both Dems and Repubs are just mildly on the same page, it’s reluctance to ban weapons. You may think this is false, that Dems are rabid about the issue, but there are just enough Dems in Purples states who want to get re-elected.

Biden has no fear of Executive Order and the GOP-e Senate will continue their march to oblivion by doing nothing.

Not enough votes on the Supreme Court is what he really means.

It’s not 1993 anymore. So they don’t have enough Republicans to go along with their claptrap.

You see some actually now cheering that Trans are “fighting back” with assault weapons.

Which proves what I’ve been saying all along, it’s not about the guns, it’s about taking away the ability for those who oppose the upcoming Revolution from defending themselves against what’s coming.

What exactly are the Dems proposing? Banning ALL “assault weapons,” meaning confiscation of existing guns, or just banning sales?

Hmmm??? I ask of WokeLeftazis what will be the acceptable level of government gun violence (using automatic weapons of war?) that they would allow to disarm a possible reluctant citizenry? How much blood and carnage is OK to protect us all from the “scourge of gun violence?” Law enforcement would have little time for anything else. They might even have to cut back on pursuing “criminals” known as Trump supporters.
