• Democrat Senator Chris Murphy has admitted that there is not enough support in the upper chamber to pass a ban on so-called assault weapons.
• “I’m glad that President Joe Biden is going to be pushing us to take a vote on an assault weapons ban. 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,” Murphy said. “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.”
