“I said one more question, but I have two more questions. This is sort of a progression. My friend is here today because of a commitment Senator Murphy made in his maiden speech in the U.S. Senate--a consistent sense of belief that my friend will never give up until we have commonsense gun safety in America. After the grievous act that we saw in Florida, where 49 innocent people were slaughtered, Senator Murphy, Senator Blumenthal, countless Senators, and I--at least half of our caucus has come down here and said the same thing: Enough is enough. We can't let business as usual happen. No. 2, and the reason my friend stood up and has been holding the floor for 9\1/2\ hours, has been in order to say: Hey, the terrorist loophole should be closed. There is one more element to this progression--an indefatigable Senator with a noncontroversial element in terms of the terrorist loophole, but now there is this other piece, which is just common sense, and I want to take that one step and ask that my friend go a little deeper with it.…”
