Gun Control: Say whut?

[lspencer534]

During the June 19 airing of ABC’s "This Week", Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) dodged questions regarding the impotency of his gun control proposal by suggesting it is not fair to judge gun control based on whether it works.

Murphy made the suggestion in an exchange with host Jon Karl, after Karl pointed out that Murphy’s push to expand background checks to gun shows had no relevance to the details of the Pulse Orlando attack. In fact, Karl said, “Your proposal would have done nothing in the case of Orlando, it would have done nothing to stop the killing in San Bernardino.” [Or on Sandy Hook Elementary either.]

Murphy responded by saying:

So first of all, we can’t get into that trap. I disagree, I think if this proposal had been into effect it may have stopped the shooting. But we can’t get into the trap in which we are forced to defend our proposal simply because it didn’t stop the last tragedy.

In other words, Murphy is saying it is not fair to judge gun control based on whether it works.

Incredible arrogance. Nothing but ass-wind from stupid people in power elected by other stupid people...

If we want to reduce violent crime rates all we have to do is concentrate on normalizing violent crime rates within each ethnic group. Since Black Americans kill near half of all people, mainly other black American, we need to reduce that killing rate.

We keep concentrating on the tool, not the root cause. And the root cause is a F**ked up family life .

All you really had to say was (D-CT).

It's pretty much a guarantee at that point that whatever comes after is absolutely moronic.

It's hippocraticle that the people who stand there making speeches about gun control are the same people being guarded by security, carrying firearms.
