Sen. Chris Murphy Cites ‘Bomb Threat’ Against Son’s School in Justifying Gun Control Push
Breitbart ^ | 09/05/2024 | AWR Hawkins

Posted on 09/05/2024 7:52:08 AM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

During a September 5, 2024, appearance on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) cited a “bomb threat” against his son’s school in the litany of instances he listed to justify more gun control.

A “bomb threat.”

Murphy commented on the Apalachee High School attack, saying, “You don’t need [an AR-15] to hunt. You don’t need that weapon to protect your home. You need that weapon if you’re going to commit mass murder.”

He continued, “Part of the reason that these shootings continue to happen, part of the reason that these shootings continue to be so lethal, is because states like Georgia have made a decision to put the profits of the gun industry ahead of the health and safety of our kids.”

On cue, whenever a school shooting happens, the Liberals start up the gun control talk. They are like Pavlov’s dogs on this issue.

“IF you think that government is overbearing now just wait until you are completely disarmed” L.Star. goes right along with this gem...”when your government disarms the populace only two types of criminals will have guns, those who don’t respect the badge and those who wear one”. ask any survivor of a socialist, communist or any other type of totalitarian government. facts do not care if one is educated, stupid...or somewhere in between.

I came into possession recently of a broken but fixable 30-06 hunting rifle. Not a Browning, but the manufacturer contracted with Browning to use the same gas system as the BAR. Nice rifle but issues with bolt because it is cheap copy of the Browning. Anyway, while it was being repaired, I needed a magazine for it. This rifle is about 50 years old. To my surprise it was built to accept a 10 round magazine. I ordered two. This rifle is based on a weapon of war and accepts a ten round magazine. It would be banned if these idiots had their way.

”Our own Country’s Honor, all call upon us for a vigorous and manly exertion, and if we now shamefully fail, we shall become infamous to the whole world. Let us therefore rely upon the goodness of the Cause, and the aid of the supreme Being, in whose hands Victory is, to animate and encourage us to great and noble Actions — The Eyes of all our Countrymen are now upon us, and we shall have their blessings, and praises, if happily we are the instruments of saving them from the Tyranny mediated against them. Let us therefore animate and encourage each other, and shew the whole world, that a Freeman contending for Liberty on his own ground is superior to any slavish mercenary on earth.”

You need that weapon if you’re going to commit mass murder.”

Geez, I guess that's why all of the police who responded to the school were carrying AR-15s.

Senator, I’m an American. The government (and you) don’t get to decide what I ‘need’.

A called in bomb threat?! I went to school in Chris Murphy’s Connecticut. I was in a small prep school when we had a flurry of “bomb threats” in the early ‘80s. They were taken seriously. However, it was suspected this was the work of a student who wanted to have a break from class.

The school’s solution was simple: Make-up classes on Saturday. The bomb threats mysteriously stopped.

Chris Murphy is a pusillanimous pussyfooted lardface, and a spherical agglomeration of odoriferous organic matter and detritus (aka/dirtball).

LOCK UP THE PEOPLE WILLING TO DO SUCH EVENTS.

THE GUNS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM.

THE PEOPLE PULLING THE TRIGGERS ARE THE PROBLEM.

I was raised rural. We had guns-—never had a problem.

Have lived rural the last 31+++ years of my life.

RAN A KNOWN DRUG DEALER OFF MY PROPERTY IN HIGH NOON DAYLIGHT WHEN HE WAS THREATENING ME. GRABBED MY SHOTGUN-—AND HE FINALLY LEFT.

AND-—YES-—I WOULD HAVE SHOT HIM....OUTSIDE HOUSE IN BROAD DAYLIGHT.

SHERIFF SAID HE WOULD HAVE THROWN ME A PARTY IF I HAD SHOT HIM—EVEN IF OUTSIDE MY HOUSE.

HE had breached my fencing & gates... Livestock inside.

If you ban guns, won’t the retards and their deep state handlers just plant more bombs instead.

In recent news, this commie libtard IDIOT Murphy has graced us with his low IQ opinions and views multiple times. When will the people of Connecticut wise up and dump him?

Well, he’s Democrat so what did you expect? He probably doesn’t know an assualy weapon from a pea shooter. If someone
were put in charge of armed security at a school, would they rather have a bolt action repeater or a semi-auto weapon?

It wasn’t a “Gun Threat”. Shouldn’t he really be pushing for Bomb Control?

Gun control works fine and dandy in Great Britain. Yeah they have a big problem with stabbings, thanks to that religion of peace, but by golly gun violence is practically non-existent there
