     It may have went down today but you can bet your backside that it will be brought up again!!   They wont never let it go they will keep trying and offering up some reason to pass it along, like I said I dont put anything past this administration, hell I am beginning to think they may be involved in the sinking of the Titanic!!  Jim

Personal opinion is a good thing, and everyone is entitled to one.  The hard part is separating informed opinion from someone who is just blowing hot air....

They voted on that today, too. It didn't pass..57 to 43. Needed 60 to pass.

I enjoy seeing Obama when he doesn't get what he wants.  I've noticed how legislators that vote FOR something he wants ( as in Obamacare when they had to resort to all the arm twisting, bribes, back room deals and who knows what else ) are doing the will of the people. When they vote AGAINST a bill he favors, he accuses them of  NOT  supporting the majority of the people.  One of the first responses I heard this morning was how "the spineless Senators that cowered in the corner and voted against the gun bill" would suffer the wrath of Mayor Bloomenthal  and his deep,deep pockets. I seem to remember during the last election cycle liberals howled about how unfair it was because people like the Cooke brothers and other wealthy Republicans were buying the election. Sorta funny how that works.........

I called AZ Senator Flakes office to thank for his support in defeating the Anti-Second Amendment legislation defeated on Wednesday and encouraged him to continue his support for the Second Amendment.

I was unable to leave a voice mail for the traitorous AZ Senator McCain. I did sent an e-mail telling him how incensed I am that he supported the Anti-Second Amendment bill. I also said he had best plan to retire since if he runs again I will lend my mouth, e-mails, time  and money to defeat him. I added that he has violated his oath of office and his oath as an officer.

I further stated he is a disgrace to Arizona, the Navy and all who support the Constitution.

Now just a little realistic rain on your parade. The majority vote was FOR these Bills.
It or similar Bills need only 3 more out of the 100 total to move them on. Kind of a sad victory.
