Milwaukee Police Chief Edward Flynn called out Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who repeated National Rifle Association talking points against background checks for all gun purchases (video below).

"We absolutely do nothing to enforce the laws on the books... How many cases have you made? How many cases have you made?"
