National Rifle Association lobbyist Brian Judy’s remark came in response to a question from Washington State Sen. Steve O’Ban, R-University Place, who led the lobbyist through a list of gun-violence tragedies that he said would not have been prevented by universal background checks.
O’Ban mentioned the 2012 shooting in Newtown, Conn., where the gunman first fatally shot his mother, then 20 first-graders and six staff members at the elementary school.
“Obviously that transaction would not have been captured in the [proposed gun sale background check bill] 594 if it had been law?” O’Ban asked.
“Unfortunately, I think that was the murder-your-mom loophole,” Judy answered.
State Sen. Jeannie Darneille, D-Tacoma, complained about that line later in the hearing.
“A phrase ‘the murder-your-mom loophole,’ which might sound very familiar to you, and friendly, and humorous, is in fact not humorous to me,” Darneille said.
