Political Quotes

“My last question for Senator Murphy concerns Senator Feinstein's legislation. As has been discussed, Senator Feinstein's terror gap legislation would give the Attorney General the discretion necessary to deny known or suspected terrorists from purchasing firearms or explosives so long as there is a reasonable belief that such a purchase would be used in terrorist-related activities. I am a strong supporter of this legislation as a commonsense measure to keep guns out of the hands of potential terrorists and to take a significant step toward keeping our communities safer. So my last question is whether the Senator believes this legislation would be likely to make a real and significant difference in preventing those on the terrorist watch list from getting guns they could use in acts of mass violence?”
