On Tuesdays broadcast of MSNBCs Morning Joe, Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) said he is for a ban on semi-automatic rifles.
Co-host Willie Geist asked, How could this have been prevented? Is there a law? Congressman Himes ultimately said yes, hed be for a ban on semi-automatic rifles like the AR-15. How about you?
Murphy answered, Absolutely. Lets just be clear that the pace of these epic mass shootings, 10 or more people being killed, doubled after the Assault Weapons Ban expired. Thats not a coincidence. I think we also have to look at these aftermarket modifications that [allow] you, fairly easily, to turn an automatic weapon turn a semi-automatic weapon into an automatic weapon.
We have to get back to the evergreen changes, things like universal background checks, that frankly, probably would have stopped many of the other murders around the country that happened on Sunday before the shooting started in Las Vegas.
Geist followed up, So, just to be specific, ban bump stocks and ban semi-automatic rifles. Are you for those two things?
Murphy answered, Im for both of those two things.

“I think you meant .308...
Just bought myself one of those Smoke Wagons.”
Ugh,white man’s fire stick heap bad medicine.
“Im for a ban on liberals”
But then who would rob banks, do car jackings,rape, sucker punch,raise our taxes, ban our guns etc?
And No 4’s do work!
Like a charm.
Though that one could potentially be a No. 5.
Probably a No 4, though. Mk 1.
I support banning political whores that exploit tragedies for political purposes from running for elective office at all levels including dog catcher!
Predictable. Who is actually surprised?
