Democrat Senator Chris Murphy Mounts Gun Control Filibuster
PJ Media ^ | 06-15-2016 | Michael van der Galien

Posted on 06/15/2016 2:02:45 PM PDT by Michael van der Galien

Are gun grabbers having a field day with the terror attack in Orlando or what?

The Senate is debating a spending bill that Democrats hope to offer gun amendments to, but Murphy said that the Senate should "not proceed with debate on amendments to this bill until we have figured out a way to come together on, at the very least, two simple ideas."

"I'm going to remain on this floor until we get some signal, some sign that we can come together on these two measures, that we can get a path forward on addressing this epidemic in a meaningful, bipartisan way," Murphy continued on the Senate floor on Wednesday, after he first started his filibuster at about 11:20 a.m.

What "epidemic" is the good senator talking about, exactly? The threat posed by radical Islam? Extremist Muslims' blood thirst and systematic terror attacks in the entire world, from Asia to the Middle East and from Europe to the United States?

No, of course he isn't. Because that would force him to admit that there's such a thing as "radical Islam." And that can't possibly be true. After all, we all know that so-called "minorities" can do no wrong. It's the white man who's the problem, nobody else.

So instead of demanding action against the main cause behind terrorism (I'll just repeat it again for our Democratic friends: radical Islam), Senator Murphy and his ilk are trying to use this opportunity to take Americans' guns away from them. Yes, much better to make them completely dependent on the government for their safety! As we all saw in Orlando, gun free zones mean zero crimes and especially zero murders!

Oh wait.

Democrats truly are the lowest of the low. They're the muddy filth on my shoes, the cockroaches of humanity.

What?? Doesn’t he know that will spell the end of the Democrat Party?? The people don’t want filibusters. Just watch all the Dems condemn him and go after him for this. Just like the Repubs did to Cruz.sarc

Except that cockroaches can be squashed and mud can be scrapped off your shoe into the compost pail to be put out into the backyard pit to eventually turn into useful potting soil.

When the private polling shows Hillary’s numbers sliding south you know the Rats will pack this circus up faster than PT Barnum! If her numbers hold this filibuster won’t end until November.

Hope he pisses himself while he filibusters. In the meantime:

The CDC says there are 32,000 deaths per year from guns. In that number, about 60% are suicides, 3% accidental, 4% justified homicide, 33% criminal homicide. Of the criminal homicide, 80% are gang-related. You are left with a total of 1712 deaths in a total population of 312 million people in the US. If you don’t hang in the hood, commit a crime, or plan on committing suicide, your chance of death by firearm = 0.000008564102564%

That just doesn’t sound like the US has a problem with guns. As ever, since Cain slew Abel with a rock, the problem is the wetware, not the hardware.

Did he consider a filibuster about this? No? Didn't think so.

Why do you post only your own material and write about your self in the third person on your profile page?

Are you a self-absorbed queer blogpimp?

Until you realize the problem is the terrorist and not the weapon of choice you can fillibuster until the grim reaper comes to take you home wherever that is and since you a probably a godless liberal I think I know where that is...just saying

A gun did not make a decision to kill anyone, a moslem with ties to isis did. Control that.
