\"Sen.
Democratic Sen. Chris Murphy firmly believes that more gun control would prevent school shootings like the recent one in Oxford, Michigan. (Photo: Twitter\/C-SPAN2<\/em>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) posted an anti-2A speech to social media this week that went viral in the wake of the school shooting in Oxford, Michigan<\/a> that left three dead and eight others wounded.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During his screed on the Senate floor, Sen. Murphy called out his Republican colleagues for their putative hypocrisy when it comes to being pro-life but anti-gun control.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Do not lecture us on the sanctity and importance of life when 100 people every single day are losing their lives to guns. When kids go to school fearful that they won’t return home because a classmate will turn a gun on them when it is in our control whether this happens,\u201d he exclaimed.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“You care about life? Then get these dangerous military-style weapons off the streets, out of schools,\u201d he continued. \u201cYou care about life? Make sure that criminals don’t get guns by making sure that everyone goes through a background check in this country.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Driving home tonight, I thought about Republicans’ floor speeches today on the “sanctity of life”.

And how this concern for “life” apparently doesn’t extend to the kids who were shot today in a school in Michigan.

So I turned the car around, and went to the Senate floor. pic.twitter.com\/yJ8FthS0nE<\/a><\/p>\u2014 Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) December 1, 2021<\/a><\/blockquote> \n\n\n\n

Murphy went on to posit that Congress\u2019 inaction may be seen by those with homicidal ideations as a wink and a nod to take innocent lives.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Make no mistake about it, there is a silent message of endorsement sent to would-be killers, sent to individuals whose brains are spiraling out of control when the highest levels of the US Government does nothing shooting after shooting,\u201d he argued. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Somewhere in these broken brains, they have convinced themselves that they can right perceived wrongs by firing a gun into a crowd,\u201d said Murphy. “When Congress, the highest, most important, most powerful leaders in the land do nothing shooting after shooting you can understand why those broken brains imply that as endorsement.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hardened criminals and those with broken brains don\u2019t care what the law says.  The 15-year-old allegedly responsible for the shooting in Michigan stole the handgun he used to perpetrate the attack from his father.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The existing laws on the books that outlaw gun theft and murder did nothing to deter this troubled teen.  Sen. Murphy suggests that more federal laws might\u2019ve made a difference, specifically universal background checks and a ban on modern sporting rifles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But clearly, those policies wouldn\u2019t have done jack in this Michigan case.\u00a0 As mentioned, the kid absconded with his dad\u2019s pistol, per reports<\/a>. \u00a0No long gun of any make or model was used. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which raises questions about the efficacy of gun control to deal with these rare<\/a> but tragic events. Even dispassionate academics, those with no dog in the fight over gun rights, have similar concerns when evaluating the impact of criminalizing private transfers and outlawing AR-15s on mass killings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To quote a 2021 policy brief<\/a>, entitled “Policy Solutions to Address Mass Shootings,” published by the Rockefeller Institute of Government, \u201cMost gun laws that we examined, including assault weapon bans, do not appear to be causally related to the rate of mass public shootings.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not to mention the downside of imposing such restrictions on law-abiding citizens.  Broadly speaking, gun control impairs one\u2019s ability to protect oneself both from individual assailants and from government tyranny. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All this to say that if we were to follow Sen. Murphy\u2019s advice, not only are we not doing anything material to address mass shootings in this nation but we\u2019re also making it harder for law-abiding citizens to exercise their fundamental right to self-defense.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
