KARL But why can ░░░░░░░░ Congress pass things that ░░░░░░░░ s obvious agreement on ░░░░░░░░ instance the question of ░░░░░░░░ terrorist watchlist There s ░░░░░░░░ to banning gun sales ░░░░░░░░ people on that list ░░░░░░░░ have constitutional concerns but ░░░░░░░░ can t you simply ░░░░░░░░ a provision that says ░░░░░░░░ anybody who is a ░░░░░░░░ a terrorist watchlist or ░░░░░░░░ been on a terrorist ░░░░░░░░ for the last five ░░░░░░░░ tries to buy a ░░░░░░░░ the FBI is automatically ░░░░░░░░ MURPHY Yes KARL I ░░░░░░░░ that at least they ░░░░░░░░ follow the person they ░░░░░░░░ track the person Why ░░░░░░░░ t Congress at least ░░░░░░░░ that MURPHY Well first ░░░░░░░░ all does the FBI ░░░░░░░░ the resources I mean ░░░░░░░░ s a question to ░░░░░░░░ those notifications especially if ░░░░░░░░ individual walks out of ░░░░░░░░ store with the gun ░░░░░░░░ stop the killing before ░░░░░░░░ happens It would be ░░░░░░░░ more effective to make ░░░░░░░░ that the individual doesn ░░░░░░░░ get the gun rather ░░░░░░░░ to make the FBI ░░░░░░░░ find him after he ░░░░░░░░ it I think there ░░░░░░░░ consensus here And so ░░░░░░░░ we speak there are ░░░░░░░░ happening in addition to ░░░░░░░░ votes that we re ░░░░░░░░ KARL Really with the ░░░░░░░░ MURPHY yes that might ░░░░░░░░ fruit And the fact ░░░░░░░░ none of that would ░░░░░░░░ happening if we didn ░░░░░░░░ stand up and conduct ░░░░░░░░ filibuster We were just ░░░░░░░░ to go on like ░░░░░░░░ as usual And so ░░░░░░░░ re going to try ░░░░░░░░ get the votes on ░░░░░░░░ night If we don ░░░░░░░░ there are compromise negotiations ░░░░░░░░ I don t think ░░░░░░░░ of that would ve ░░░░░░░░ if we hadn t ░░░░░░░░ a stand KARL All ░░░░░░░░ Senator Murphy thanks for ░░░░░░░░ to talk to us ░░░░░░░░ it MURPHY Thanks a ░░░░░░░░
