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.”
Karl added that Murphy’s push to expand background checks to gun shows would not have stopped the attack on Sandy Hook Elementary either. He then asked why Murphy was spending so much energy proposing legislation that has nothing to do with the “massacre” in Orlando?
According Newbusters.org, 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.

Remember with Liberals...when it comes to laws and legislation...it's ALWAYS about feelings and emotions...not whether something is actually effective.

Well, OK, this is superficially correct, if one assumes that his proposal would do any good at all.
But I'm not aware of any strong correlation between guns purchased at gun shows, and guns used for murder. More than that, I suspect that most murderers are not buying their weapons from reputable dealers in any case....

And that is why stupid new "common sense" gun laws will never do what they are supposedly intended to do. All you will do is take legally owned firarms out of the hands of someone and put them at the mercy of a thug on the street with a Glock he bought in an alley for $100.

Yep. They've been making the same arguments about education and welfare policy for three generations.
"Sure, we're dumbing down the populace, destroying the black family and disincentivizing work, but it's all good 'cause we care so much more than you".
