Sen. Murphy tells Congress to ‘get off its ass’ on gun control

Guns were already on the radar for Monday in Virginia’s governor’s race, but the massacre in Las Vegas on Sunday night forced both campaigns to react amid another round of debate over the political response to mass shootings.

In the past, gun rights supporters and organizations such as the National Rifle Association have warned of future regulatory efforts Democratic administrations may try to impose using a mass shooting as justification.

“We can not simply throw up our hands or continue to justify the presence of weapons of war whose primary objective is to kill the largest number of human beings in the shortest amount of time possible”, Harris wrote on her Facebook page.”We must honestly acknowledge the epidemic of gun violence and work together, now, to curb it”.

Congress is now debating two major laws to loosen gun restrictions.

The stocks surged in mid-September after Reuters reported, citing senior USA officials, that the Trump administration is working to make it easier for US gun makers to sell small arms to foreigners. Gun control. When do we want it?

The another senator from Connecticut, Richard Blumenthal also called for gun control legislation.

“Congress has a moral duty to address this horrific and heartbreaking epidemic”. “When permits are granted for a demonstration, and we know that law enforcement is going to be there with their weapons, why do other people need to bring their weapons there?”

And while some gun restrictions, like universal background checks, tend to poll overwhelmingly favorably, the voters who care most about guns and tend to be those opposed to new restrictions, and they vote, volunteer, and donate to politicians who support that view.

“The bottom line is that the only reason the killer was in America in the first place was because we allowed his family to come here”, Trump said.

Pelosi urged the committee to “study and report back common sense legislation to help end this crisis”. A gunman in a hotel room at the Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas killed at least 50 people attending an outdoor concert and wounded over 400 more.

Opponents of the bill say that the silencer provision, in particular, could make it harder to identify a shooter during an incident such as the one in Las Vegas.

“We are coming together as an NYU community to grieve the loss of life, to lift each other up, and to send our prayers and love to Vegas”, organizers said on an Facebook event page ahead of the vigil.

Citing President Donald Trump, Kelly said “Americans need more than our president’s prayers”.

In a morning tweet, Trump offered “my warmest condolences and sympathies to the victims and families of the bad Las Vegas shooting”. That was followed by the Firearm Owners’ Protection Act of 1986, which banned the possession and transfer of new machine guns, said Shira Goodman, executive director of CeaseFirePA.

The Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence graded Nevada a “C-” for its gun legislation. More than 500 people were injured in the chaos that ensued.

Acts of mass gun violence, reported The Washington Post, “have done little to change the strong partisan divide on the issue”.
