Murphy: We’ve to Beat the Gun Lobby if We’re Going to Protect the Country from Terror

RUSH TRANSCRIPT: 
MURPHY: “I don’t think it’s impossible to pass anything. And you’re right, it’s hard to imagine why things would change now if they didn’t change after 20 first graders died in my state. But I think as Manu just reported, we’re starting to see significant changes and cracks. Senator Kelly Ayotte announced the decision to switch her vote. She will vote for it today but voted against it in December. I think other Republicans will follow suit. Is it enough to get to 60? I don’t know. But it’s significant progress in the right direction. My hope is that what we did this week with the filibuster has elevated this issue such that we’re eventually going to beat the gun lobby. We have to if we protect this country from future terrorist attacks.”
