Expanded background checks fails in Senate

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Obama to be on TV any minute to whine about this defeat.

 

[Truthmatters]

this is something 90+ americans wanted.


who exactly does the republican party represent?

do they actually think they can cheat enough in elections to thwart 90% of the peoples votes?

 

[BlindBoo]

Just as well. The House would never pass such a measure anyway. We know who to target in 2014. I mostly blame Sen. Reid for not changing the rules of the Senate that allow the type of procedural move that requires virtually every piece of legislation 61 votes to pass.

 

[Truthmatters]

this also proves the clowns on the right we talk to here do no represent more than 10% of the American people

 

[Antares]

This law wasn't going to do shit to prevent another Newtown.
Laws ONLY affect LAW ABIDING citizens, not criminals.

God the Left is truly stupid.

More innocent Americans will die because of right wing stupidity, many of them innocent children.

And even more Americans will be alive because they used their personal firearm to save themselves from the criminals who laugh at the idea of following laws in the first place.

and what the fuck does that have to do with this law?

 

[hortysir]

Specifically what would this bill have done? Anyone read it?

Read it?

Seriously?

They just copy/paste talking points and hyperbole.

 

[BreezeWood]

procedural defeat -

the majority were in favor, the majority of Americans ... looking better for the 2014 midterms.

Apparently we represent a majority of the Senate despite your side holding the majority of the seats.

Cry more

You sad sack of sophistry. Our Republic is based on Rule of Law, not Mob Rule.

Don't worry! The Dems are working on a bill to regulate Pressure Cookers instead!

That should make you happy.

No one needs a six quart pressure cooker. They can make do with a 4 quart pressure cooker. If they need a six quart pressure cooker, they are eating too much and endangering their lives and the lives of their children.

background checks are perfectly constitutional.


90% of Americans wanted it to be law.

ALL the republicans but four refused to vote for what 90% of what the Americans people wanted.



what has happened to this party.



who controls them?

Aren't you glad that polls don't override the Constitution?

 

[koshergrl]

Obama has no respect for the law or the people. Gun confiscation will continue apace.

Here in FL, when I purchase a firearm, the seller runs a NCIC check for felonies and domestic violence charges.
What other personal information would you like?

 

[Truthmatters]

So 54 of the votes were yes

46 were nos

 

[Truthmatters]

this used ot be a democracy


Now its a country held hostage by the minority party

Where is the credible totally independent source to verify that allegation. The NRA has obstructed all meaningful gun crime statistics therefore there is none.

National Crime Victims Survey, conducted by the census bureau for the DOJ says 2.5 million people use firearms in self defense each year. Look it up.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Fox cuts off the President. Don't know if I should shake my head or laugh because he always tries to shut them out.

 

[Amelia]

Those darn democrats not supporting the bill.

tsk tsk tsk
