Leave it to Senator Chris Murphy to think the best way to talk to people about Trump declaring a National Emergency at the border is by threatening their Second Amendment rights. What was he THINKING?!

100 people die from guns every day. That’s a national emergency. If Trump gets away w this border emergency declaration, then a Dem President can declare a gun violence emergency and institute universal background checks and an assault weapons ban by executive action. So… — Chris Murphy (@ChrisMurphyCT) February 15, 2019

So you gun owners better not let Trump do this whole National Emergency at the border thing OR ELSE.

What a schmuck.

Like super schmuck.

No wait, the biggest schmucks around would take a look at Chris and say, ‘Damn, that dude is a schmuck.’

It would be nice if you could just line up against executive overreach, and for the prerogatives of your branch, without fantasizing about what you'd do if you could. — Charles C. W. Cooke (@charlescwcooke) February 15, 2019

It would be nice if Chris wasn’t a schmuck but we repeat ourselves.

And we can do abortion….and the communist take over of our college campuses. Let’s play this game Chris, it’ll be fun. https://t.co/9JZA10hFJM — Brickhouse (@Brick______) February 15, 2019

Yeah, it’ll be FUN.

If we have a wall maybe you won't need to. https://t.co/pka6V9VUdO — Federalist Musket?? (@Patriot_Musket) February 15, 2019

Ouch.

When your definition of an assault weapon is "something that looks scarier than a handgun" you'll never have a compelling or winning argument. You and your ilk are far too eager to infringe upon law-abiding citizens than to educate yourselves on gun violence. — G (@TCC_Grouchy) February 15, 2019

When your definition is any gun that goes, ‘pew pew pew’ as well.

Democrats, right?

It’s 91

57 are from suicide, of those 37 are veterans. This is a mental health care crisis!! Why aren’t people up in arms about it? Why use this as a talking point to convince others re your pov about the wall? Such bs. 21,000 people a year commit suicide by gun. 21,000!! — Lesley Carrigg (@lecarrigg) February 15, 2019

Because Chris would much rather use their deaths as a means to play politics than actually do something to help people. It’s a game, clearly.

Even some Democrats are calling him out for this take:

That is the wrong argument. We have a president assuming dictatorial powers and "Dems could do it too" is not the right take. Impeachment hearings for failure to abide by the Constitution seems more appropriate — Barbara H. Rigney (@BarbaraHRigney) February 15, 2019

Crazy right?

No sir. I have the right to bear arms, and to rise up against a corrupt government. Instituting a national emergency for gun control is unconstitutional. — Dennis Claffey (@ClaffeyDennis) February 15, 2019

Way to violate your oath of office Senator. — Waifus ? Raifus (@Waifu_Master) February 15, 2019

You cannot declare a national emergency against a inalienable constitutional right. — ???? ???? (@captbeardinator) February 15, 2019

The facts are on paper, stick to reality, it will suit your office better. — Wilm2lrn (@wilm2lrn) February 15, 2019

Reality only confuses Chris.

Silly.
