Kelly Ayotte's Approval Rating Plunges After Vote Against Gun Background Checks

[hazlnut]

so bogus!!

 

[hazlnut]

I wish there was a way.. We'd recall the Senator who voted FOR the gun grab.

Since "gun grab" doesn't exist.... I guess we can laugh at your foolishness.

 

[NYcarbineer]

From what I've seen of Kelly Ayotte, she always seems to have that deer-in-the-headlights what-am-I-doing-here? look and manner about her,

quite common in the weakminded, and those in over their heads.

And besides being the main ingredient in a John McCain/Lindsay Graham sandwich on a regular basis,

what IS she doing in the Senate?

Progressives: We are NOT sexist. (unless the woman is conservative, then all bets are off).

 

[Missourian]

"46 percent disapproving and 44 percent approving" ... sounds pretty close to Obama's numbers...let's recall him.

 

[velvtacheeze]

I wish there was a way.. We'd recall the Senator who voted FOR the gun grab.

Prediction: She'll support some type of gun control...and conservatives will spin and weave their way into excusing her flip flop out of desperation to keep her in office.

Five Things To Know About The NRA's New President Jim Porter

1. Meet The New Boss, Same As The Old Boss. Don't expect Porter to be a breath of fresh air bringing with him a new way of doing things. As is traditional, Porter will come to the presidency following two years as first vice president and two years as second vice president of the organization. He has also been the head of the NRA's legal affairs committee and a trustee of the NRA Civil Rights Defense Fund. Porter's father was the NRA's president from 1959 to 1961 and chaired the 1977 annual meeting at which hardliners took over the organization and began transforming it into the no-compromise lobbying powerhouse the group remains today.

2. Porter Believes "Un-American" Eric Holder And Hillary Clinton Tried To "Kill The Second Amendment At The United Nations." Porter said during a June 2012 speech at the New York Rifle & Pistol Association's Annual Meeting that Attorney General Eric Holder, who he termed "rabidly un-American," was "trying to kill the Second Amendment at the United Nations" with the help of then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. He attributed this to the proposed United Nations Arms Trade Treaty, which he claimed would "make it illegal for individuals all over the world to own firearms." This is a blatant misrepresentation of the treaty, which deals with the international arms trade, not private ownership.

3. Porter Calls The Civil War The "War Of Northern Aggression." Explaining the NRA's roots during the same June 2012 speech, Porter said, "NRA was started 1871 right here in New York state. It was started by some Yankee generals who didn't like the way my Southern boys had the ability to shoot in what we call the 'War of Northern Aggression.' Now y'all might call it the Civil War, but we call it the 'War of Northern Aggression' down south."

4. Porter Thinks President Obama Wants European-Style Socialism. In a February 2011 interview with NRA News, Porter said: "I think everybody had a wake-up call after the Democrats took over Congress in 2006, and I think they had a huge shock when President Obama was elected in 2008. Most folks never would believe that there would be a run on our rights, our individual rights like there's been in this country. And people are so concerned that where this government wants to take us is to a European socialistic, bureaucratic type of government. And it's been a wake-up call."

5. With Porter As President, We'll See More Of Wayne LaPierre. In recent months, current NRA President Keene has split major media appearances with Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre. But unlike Keene, Porter doesn't have a great deal of experience as a media personality, and reportedly plans to "serve a behind-the-scenes role" and let LaPierre, known for his fiery speeches and apocalyptic conspiracies, be the "face of the organization."

he's a charicature of himself. They must have done focus-groups of clingers & red staters to come up w/ that stuff. Besides, every school child knows it was the War of Southern Rebellion & they got their asses handed to them.

yep. they desperately need every senate seat they have so they'll spin her hypocrisy

 

[Katzndogz]

The real hypocrite has to be Dianne Feinstein who carries but doesn't want anyone else to protect themselves.

Democrats don't like it that this is going to turn out just like Mark Sanford's election. No matter how they spin it they will still lose.

So, a couple of sick a-holes bent on murdering as many fellow students as possible would shelve their plan instead because of background checks or other gun related laws?

No shortage of friggin' idiocy on the left.

Check out Chicago's gun laws along with several years of gun buyback programs with no questions asked, and then explain to the class why the criminals aren't obeying the laws.

And while I cannot speak for others, I at least promise not to laugh my ass off at whatever tripe that might bring.

You guys seem to be clueless about Chicago as you constantly use it as an argument as to why gun control doesn't work. What you keep missing is the fact that the murder rate has dropped almost in half since the early 90's when it was close to 1000 per year. While there was a small uptick in the murder rate in the last year or so, it's still only about half of what it was in the early 90's.

 

[Katzndogz]

It really isn't fair to compare the murder rate today to the murder rate of the 80s and 90s when the Blood/Crip war was raging.

Then too, there are simply many fewer people in Chicago. The population hasn't been this low since the 20s.

The Most Bogus Argument Against New Gun Laws

As both sides in the gun-control debate mobilize for a possible second act on Capitol Hill, could we please retire the argument that taking step X on guns wouldn’t have prevented tragedy Y?

That talking point has been a recurring theme in the gun debate, from Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley to Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp to the National Rifle Association. It even informed Sen. Kelly Ayotte’s response last week to Erin Lafferty, whose mother was shot to death in December at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. “As you and I both know, the issue wasn’t a background-check system issue at Sandy Hook,” Ayotte said at a town meeting in Warren, N.H., defending her vote against the Manchin-Toomey bill adding a background-check requirement for sales at gun shows and online.

Yet arguments like that ignore the fact that step X—whether it’s expanded background checks or other proposals before Congress—might well have helped prevent or mitigate some horrendous past incident, and could spare us future tragedies.

For instance, expanded background checks might have saved the life of Ricky Byrdsong, the former Northwestern University basketball coach killed by white supremacist Benjamin Nathan Smith in 1999. Smith tried to buy a gun from a licensed dealer in June 1999 but was blocked because of a domestic-violence restraining order against him. The next month he bought one from an unlicensed dealer and used it to target blacks, Asians, and Orthodox Jews in a three-day, multicity rampage. Nine were wounded and two died, among them Byrdsong, who was shot multiple times while walking with two of his children.

And, yes, expanded background checks might have kept Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold from killing 13 people and themselves in the 1999 Columbine massacre. Three of the four guns the two 17-year-olds used in the shootings were purchased for them at a gun show by Robyn Anderson, then 18. “I would not have bought a gun for Eric and Dylan if I had had to give any personal information or submit to any kind of check at all,” Anderson said in a statement in 2000. “I wish a law requiring background checks had been in effect at the time.”

If there were mandatory background checks at every gun show seller booth licensed and non-licensed.... this would have NEVER happened:

The woman who bought the guns for these boys said she would have not bought the guns if she had to go through a background check.

You idiot gun control pussies are incredibly ignorant.

It is already AGAINST THE LAW to purchase a firearm for SOMEBODY ELSE.

The ONLY way a person can buy a firearm in this country without undergoing a background check is via a PRIVATE SALE.

Using the term "unlicensed dealer" is extremely misleading. An "unlicensed dealer" is already violating federal gun laws, and would NOT be allowed to participate in gun shows.

A PRIVATE person who is selling a gun or two is perfectly legal. THAT is the loophole that you lefties refer to as the "gun show loophole".

I live in New Hampshire. Our state motto is LIVE FREE OR DIE. That seems to say it all, doesn't it?

As for Kelly Ayotte, she voted against the "enhanced" background check legislation because it was nothing more than an unenforceable bureaucratic pile of SHIT.

The Ayotte attack ads that have been running on New Hampshire TV stations have been countered with pro-Ayotte TV ads that state the facts.

NOBODY I know is against background checks. We already have nationwide background checks (remember the "Brady bill").

Some states have already passed enhanced background check legislation. This is a STATE issue, not a federal issue.

Either way, CRIMINALS could care less what background check legislation has become law.
The CRIMINALS will still get their firearms, either by THEFT or by buying them out of car trunks. Hence the word "CRIMINALS".
