Sen. Chris Murphy (D-Conn.) called for Congress to “get off its ass and do something” about gun violence after a deadly Las Vegas mass shooting that left at least 50 people dead.
Murphy, who emerged as a leading figure in the push for gun control legislation after the deadly mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in his state of Connecticut, said it was “positively infuriating” that Congress had failed to pass laws to stop gun violence.
“Nowhere but America do horrific large-scale mass shootings happen with this degree of regularity. Last night’s massacre may go down as the deadliest in our nation’s history, but already this year there have been more mass shootings than days in the year,” Murphy said in a statement.
“This must stop. It is positively infuriating that my colleagues in Congress are so afraid of the gun industry that they pretend there aren’t public policy responses to this epidemic. There are, and the thoughts and prayers of politicians are cruelly hollow if they are paired with continued legislative indifference.” “It’s time for Congress to get off its ass and do something,” Murphy said.

Even duct tape can’t fix stupid.
But it can silence it.
I blame hollywood and the “progressive” 60’s....so there.
Exactly. They are blaming the victims’ rihts. The way islamic seditionists blame women’s right to display their legs for rape is the way these sick liberals blame the victims’ right to own a gun they did not have at the time!
this is how terrorism works and manipulates their victims,pedophile style, “you been a bad boy/girl”
Wrong, they're legal, except in the slave states like NY, NY, IL, CA, etc. They're registered, though, which is an unconstitutional infringement. I will say here and now: laws are IRRELEVANT. NONE of my guns, and NONE of the guns of 99.999999999% of American gun owners did this. A murdering leftist/Muzzie/nutjob/CIA plant did this, not us gun owners.
If he wasn’t 32 stories high, he never would have been able to kill this many people.
I think we need to BAN High Rise Buildings because they make it easy for Lunatics to kill people at random
Amen, repeal them all.
“Democrats” dancing in the blood again. ***holes like this clown disgust me. Banning guns is not the answer.
They’re not illegal, Timmy, except in the slave states like NY, NJ, etc. They’re registered with the Federal government. But murderers don’t obey laws, Timmy.
Nope. If it was 50 Republican members of Congress, the Democrats would cheer, and say that was a good start. Just like they did after Steve Scalise was shot. Oh, forgot about that?
Congress did NOTHING after the Democrat assassin Hodgkinson shot up the Congressional softball practice. How soon we forget.
The shooters house was full of more weapons so he apparently didn’t have any problem getting the legal ones or not.
Full auto is legal, as long as you are not a prohibited possessor (felon), don't live in a slave state (NY, NJ, etc) and the weapons is transferable. They are in theory all registered.
Here come the Blood Dance Cloggers! Give’m a hand! DON’T WAIT FOR THE FACTS TO BE KNOWN!
Problem solved way back in 1968!
“Secretary Fowler, Attorney General Clark, Chairman Celler, distinguished Members of the Senate and the House, distinguished guests:
Today we begin to disarm the criminal and the careless and the insane. All of our people who are deeply concerned in this country about law and order should hail this day.”
Lyndon Johnson on signing the 1968 Gun Control Act into law.
You are wrong. Full auto is legal as long as you don’t live in a slave state. See my earlier comments.
Darn right!
It's time to go after the haters and racists and killers.
It's time to declare Islam a terrorist organization and outlaw it, tear down all mosques and salt the earth where they stood.
Then outlaw Black Lives Matters, MS-13 and all other black, brown and race based terrorist groups.
Then do the same for ANTIFA and all other anarchist terrorist groups.
Then start prosecuting muslim Imams, politicians, bureaucrats teachers and professors who preach hate and death.
Then start prosecuting all school and college administrators, teachers and professors who preach hate and anti-Americanism.
Then prosecute all racists who run around calling for dead cops, dead whites, etc.
Congress needs to get off of it’s @ss and Build The Wall!
[[said it was “positively infuriating” that Congress had failed to pass laws to stop gun violence.]]
The 100,000 or so laws on the books already aren’t enough Senator?
Last count had us at 14 mass shootings under 0bama.
He didn’t do a thing about it, and members of the Socialist Democrat Party really weren’t that vocal about it, either!
And there it is! The moment we’ve all been waiting for!!!
Ban guns cuz they kill people. These dang guns. They somehow walk into places and just go off all by themselves.
No mention of who pulls the trigger.
Shhhh.....
The dindu’s are exempt
That’s what I thought.
