Rand Paul & Ted Cruz Threaten to Filibuster On Guns

[GeoLaureate8]

WASHINGTON — A trio of Republicans are threatening to filibuster gun legislation when it comes to the Senate floor, arguing the proposals violate the Second Amendment.

Sens. Rand Paul, Ted Cruz and Mike Lee — all Tea Party favorites — say they will "oppose any legislation that would infringe on the American people's constitutional right to bear arms, or on their ability to exercise this right without being subjected to government surveillance."

Their intention is included in a letter sent to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev.

Reid has promised to bring a bill to the floor after the spring recess that would include separate measures to expand background checks on gun buyers, strengthen trafficking laws and improve school safety. The bills have already passed the Judiciary Committee, and the background check measure is still being tweaked to garner bipartisan support.

We have enough gun laws. Its such a shame that our lawmakers refuse to solve the unimportant issues such as debt, budgets, unemployment, stagnant growth, record numbers on welfare and so on.

Ayn Rand wants to be potus so he'll fillibuster gun checks favored by something like 80%. What the hell, maybe the dems will try for Obama's third term.

they are very effective in supporting their causes - and will be just as effective in preventing others from using their same tactic when they become the majority - past history.

it is odd how justice is so easily stymied by such mindlessness ...

 

[Truthmatters]

they obviously dont care about their country or their party.

they merely want the money right wing fools will give them.

More money to these fools means fewer guns sold

 

[candycorn]

Bring it on.

 

[Mad Scientist]

Good to see that Americans now look at following the rules and obeying the law as "Evil".

Besides, we all know that "The Law" is whatever Obama says it is.

Paul and Cruz must be stopped.

Seems perfectly reasonable to me - why would you want to infringe on the American people's constitutional right to bear arms, or destroy their ability to exercise this right without being subjected to government surveillance?

Working harder than any other Senator standing up for our Constitutional rights is what you call a person who doesn't care about their country and just wants money?

You have a twisted mind. You have no principles, just telling people what to do and taking money from hard-working earners to fund your agenda.

You're wasting your time - the truth doesnt matter -at all- to him.

Rather than take a noble stand, you prefer that they do as Diane Feinstein does?

"Sen. Feinstein and her husband invested $1 million into Amyris Biotechnologies, a “green” company focused on plant-based renewable fuels and chemicals. The Feinsteins’ million-dollar investment was their only stock transaction for the entire year.

Feinstein, however, had good reason to feel that all her investment eggs were secure in the biotech basket, because just weeks after her seven-figure investment in Amyris, the company scored a $24 million grant from the Department of Energy (DOE)"

Notice how you can't name any lies from Paul/Cruz nor come up with any substantial rebuttals.
