Connecticut Sen. Chris Murphy does not shy away from the fact that guns on are on the national ballot this November.
If Donald Trump wins, it will be a pretty dramatic setback, says Murphy, who has emerged as the Democratic Partys most vocal champion of new gun regulation. Not just because how terrible hell be on the issue, but the fact that a presidential candidate who ran asking for a mandate on guns lost.
For Murphy, the fight is personal. He had just been elected to the Senate in 2012 when word arrived that there had been an incident at an elementary school in his House district. The Senator-elect watched in horror as Newtown, Conn., became the site of the deadliest mass school shooting in U.S. history.

I like “PIAPS” better.

“Gun reform”? WTF is “gun reform?” Sorry folks, this is America. Americans have a Bill of Rights. A Second Amendment. “Gun reform” is UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Those who are afraid of freedom and hate the Bill of Rights really need to move to Canada now. Don’t wait for Trump to be elected.
If Clinton wins, no criminals will be denied guns. Zero. They get them off the black market after all.
Yet the same cannot be said for law abiding citizens
What about “coalition”? That one sets me off.
Leave that state. Leave it at a loss. I did, and I’m WAY happier.
Lost about $250k in assets. But the market was terrible, I couldn’t sell. tried for 6 years.
Finally I just walked away. Best decision - I wasted 6 years of my life trying to make a clean break.
If the PIAP wins, it will be Fast-and-Furious distribution to the Soros scum in THIS country.
At least the commie/progressive-speak is consistent. Health Care Reform, Immigration Reform, etc.
Gun control advocates should be forced to watch videos of beheadings, stabbings, suicide vest bombings, etc. for 8 hours.
Wrong approach. The US Constitution was written to protect States’ rights and sovereignty. Your suggestion of federal law eclipsing the states is unconstitutional.
WONDER, JOY AND GLORY!!! Another GREAT REASON to vote for Trump.
“The goal is to pass federal concealed carry and prohibit states from passing laws limiting magazine counts and types of semi-automatic long guns. Trump will get national laws to over-ride and trump state laws so kiss your CT unconstitutional gun laws goodbye nazi-boy.”
Don’t think so, ever heard of Federalism?
Murphy should be impeached for having failed to repeal the Gun Free Zone that was the Newtown school, which he could have made his first official act. Instead, he became complicit in the mass murder. Instead, like any good feminized democrat male, he pushes emotion over reason.
I expect I will probably not for another year, however.
As I guess you know, CT just politically imploded over the last decade.
I left 2 weeks before the Sandy Hook tragedy. I’m from that area too so it was pretty surreal.
CT wasn’t “terrible” in the realm of rights.. I mean, better than NY or MA and NJ and crappy garbage pits like that.
I was pretty POed when CT state decided that they simply weren’t going to sundown the Clinton ban. I mean that’s not even freekin’ legal.
And that’s what the NE is all about. Just shoot from the hip and simply declare laws. No due process.
This moron says this as if deleting one of the articles in the Bill of Rights is a "good thing."
I am curious to see the newest version of "...shall not be infringed..." and the constitutional authority to modify it; or the logic gymnastics the SC judges would employ to justify it.
