Chris Murphy (D) outlined additional gun control that could be considered once universal background checks are in place.<\/p>\n<p>His comments came after host Chuck Todd\u00a0<a class=\"x5l\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/meet-the-press\/video\/full-murphy-i-m-interested-in-getting-60-votes-on-a-gun-reform-109221445632\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener external\">asked<\/a>\u00a0if it is a \u201cpolitical impossibility\u201d to secure regulation of certain categories of firearms at this time.<\/p>\n<p>Murphy responded, \u201cI think right now, our best chance to get something passed is universal background checks. And I think that the theory of the case is once we can convince Republicans that the sky doesn\u2019t fall for you politically when you support a reasonable expansion of something like background checks, you can move on to other interventions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Murphy then described what some of the \u201cother interventions\u201d might entail, lauding the gun owner permitting system in Connecticut as well as the broadening of factors that will land an individual on the prohibited purchasers\u2019 list.<\/p>\n<p>Eight days after the October 1, 2017, Las Vegas attack, Murphy\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2017\/10\/08\/chris-murphy-background-checks\/\">pushed<\/a>\u00a0universal background check legislation, referring to it as the \u201cNorth Star\u201d for Democrats, regarding gun control.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ironically, the Las Vegas attacker passed background checks for firearms, so universal background checks would have done nothing to hinder, much less prevent, that attack.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Equally ironic, the March 22, 2021, Boulder, Colorado, attacker\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/03\/26\/boulder-gunman-passed-background-check-acquired-firearm-at-retail-outlet\/\">acquired<\/a>\u00a0his gun via a background check as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Moreover, Colorado already has universal background checks.
