Murphy says guns should be litmus test for Dems
The Hill ^ | August 08, 2016 | Rebecca Savransky

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) says in a new interview that it's important for top Democrats to have the right opinions on gun control.

"This has become a litmus test issue for leadership in the Democratic Party," he told Politico's Glenn Thrush. "I mean, if you want to be a leader in the Democratic Party, I think this presidential election has proven that you have to be right on the issue of guns."

Confiscating guns from law abiding citizens is one of the top goals of the Democrat Party.

A Democrat Senator says Democrats should make it a litmus test for Democrat leadership.

I think they already have.

Democrat Party:

Kill babies.

Disarm honest Americans.

Encourage illegal aliens to invade America.

Import mohammedan terrorists.

Tax Americans to subsidize them.

The entire Democrat Party is evil. Every last one of 'em.

Democrat voters are either evil or stupid.

They are both.

Which, raises an interesting chicken/egg question. Are they evil because they are stupid, or were they evil from the start?

Terrific! They have chosen for their keystone issue the one thing that will wreck the party.

Because the people in this country knows where they stand on guns, and they won't back down.

Murphy, until you are willing to confiscate 'illegal assault weapons" in your own state,

SHUT UP!

If I have to choose between a RINO anti-gun pubbie or a pro-2A dem, I’ll vote for the pubbie because the dem adds to or creates a dem majority who will be anti-2a.

“Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of citizens to keep and bear arms. This is not to say that firearms should not be very carefully used, and that definite safety rules of precaution should not be taught and enforced. But the right of citizens to bear arms is just one more guarantee against arbitrary government, one more safeguard against tyranny which now appears remote in America, but which historically has proved to be always possible

Democrats march in lockstep. No place for independent thinkers in that party

And when Murph’s in Washington, we here in Connecticut really don’t miss our idiot.

The mindset of Demonrats for 50 years has been: the public doesn’t have ‘freedom’ they simply get to do a few things we politicians allow.

They’re just now being more brazen about openly saying so.

I remember this guy and these animals for what they did to Joe Lieberman. They almost assassinated him for breaking from the pack.

This is why the dems have become so powerful. If you say one slight thing that differs from the party, you’re done.

I agree with him. The Democrat Party should be about freedom and individuality for all with no government intrusion into our private lives...and only the government should have guns so they can lethally intrude into our private lives and the wealthy should live behind armed guards so the freedom and individuality of the people doesn’t affect them.

Democrats are SOOOOOOO stupid.

They are Natural Man. They are evil from the start. Their ears cannot hear good. Their eyes cannot see good. Their hearts cannot imagine good.

Every time a Progressive opens their mouth, they prove that the Elect is a real thing.

‘... will cut down on the rates of urban gun violence...’

Like Chicago?

The reality is dems love their guns. Its your guns they disllike. They plan is to disarm you but remain armed.

you have to be right on the issue of guns

Code for "confiscate theme all" as your core goal.
