DON'T HAVE VOTES FOR ASSAULT WEAPON BAN
DON'T HAVE VOTES FOR ASSAULT WEAPON BAN
Democrat Admits They Don’t Have The Votes For Assault Weapons Ban In The Senate
Democrat senator Chris Murphy admitted that Democrats don’t have the votes for an assault weapons ban in the senate.
Biden re-upped his gun control push last week.
Murphy said during an interview on CNN, “Does it have 60 votes in the Senate right now? Probably not, but let’s see if we can try to get that number is close to 60 as possible.”
Fox News reported:Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., threw cold water on President Biden’s hopes to pass an assault weapons ban during the lame duck Congress on Sunday.Murphy also said it is time for a conversation on funding law enforcement in places that are “Second Amendment Sanctuaries.”
Murphy argued that the votes for such a bill are “probably not” there for Democrats, despite the president’s push to enact a ban following a spate of shootings in recent weeks. The 50-50 split in Congress means Democrats would need 10 Republicans to defect and vote for the ban in order to overcome a filibuster.
“I’m glad that President Biden is gonna be pushing us to take a vote on an assault weapons ban,” he told CNN’s Dana Bash. “The House has already passed it. It’s sitting in front of the Senate. Does it have 60 votes in the Senate right now? Probably not, but let’s see if we can try to get that number is close to 60 as possible.”
“If we don’t have the votes, then we’ll talk to [Senate Majority Leader Chuck] Schumer and maybe come back next year, with maybe an additional senator, and see if we can do better,” he added.
