Republicans wouldn't bring a debate on gun violence to the floor even if a school shooter were to "kill 100 people," Sen. Chris Murphy (D., Conn.) said Monday.

Three months after the high school massacre in Parkland, Florida that left 17 dead, a school shooter in Santa Fe, Texas, killed 10 on Friday. Murphy, a gun control advocate who supports an assault weapons ban, told MSNBC host Chris Hayes the GOP wouldn't want to expose its members to a tough vote to address the issue.
