Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) claims the 1994 “assault weapons” ban prevented massacres but the Department of Justice’s National Institute of Justice (NIJ) reported the ban could not be credited with any reduction in crime.
Murphy’s claim was part of a larger attack on President Trump, wherein the Connecticut Senator was trying to place blame for mass shootings at Trump’s feet.
Murphy tweeted:

Having failed to do anything in the Senate, Murphy whirs about Trump signing the Criminal Justice Reform Act.
That Japanese guy ruined a lot of lives with a knife.
Hell the Huts and Tutsis killed half a million with machetes.
So now he’s a dumbass AND a liar.
The number of deaths per year resulting from rifle fire is so small that it does not warrant any discussion...
With the ‘Knife attack’ in Japan, sounds like knives need to be banned... Demon Democrats are such IDIOTS...
Also, just think that it would take criminals (including the token few Adam Lanzas and Dylan Klebolds) hundreds of centuries to equal the number of legally disarmed civilians murdered by just four governments in just the last century alone (Soviet Russia, Nazi Germany, Mao’s China, and Pol Pot’s Cambodia).
You’d think the world was a peaceful paradise until guns were invented.
The FBI’s own statistics show that more people are killed annually with fists than are killed with semi-automatic rifles.
The same applies to hammers, feet, knives, etc.
Chris Murphy is a moron.
If they fail a basic logic test they should not be elected to Congress.
Interesting fact, more people are beaten to death than rifle deaths.
Slimy swarmy Murphy is 1 reason United Van Lines will be at my Ct residence on 6/3 to sweep me away..!!!
Other reasons too longggggg to list
Buh bye
“So now he’s a dumbass AND a liar.”
Now? Hell, he was born that way.
Good on you!
“Chris Murphy is a moron.”
Represents the the nutbag state.
Also, I don't think that the streets were full of homeless people living in tents and the streets didn't smell of urine.
In 1963 available treatments for mental illness were limited. In 2019, there may be many more effective treatments, but living on the street limits treatment for mental illness even more.
Democrats lie. About everything. They have no choice. The truth would be the end of Democrats.
You have to remember, Chris Murphy is only a democrat. That explains everything.
Locking up known wolves in asylums prevents massacres. Nothing else.

Towns had Vagrancy laws back then. When those laws were done away with, the bums flooded the libraries and free museums, requiring the museums to start charging a small fee to get in.
Meanwhile, one of my favorite libraries, the last time I visited, had bums sleeping in most of the chairs and couches. They even had to close one floor due to an infestation of bedbugs.
