Every Gun Controll Amendment DEFETED!!!
« on: April 17, 2013, 01:07:52 PM »
Everyone of the 7 amendments to THE LIARS gun controll push was defeated today in the Senate.
Not a single one made it through.
Not the assault weapons ban, not the high capacity magazines ban, not the expanded back ground checks (NOT EVEN AT GUN SHOWS).
They all failed.
Guess the Senate is more afraid of the voters then THE LIAR!!!
Ol Feinstein looked like she could bite nails.  ;D
Of course there were 5 or 6 Reps who voted yea and turn coat McCain was one of them.
I think about the same number of Dems voted no.
More votes to come tomorrow.

And Barry blames the lies perpetrated by the gun lobby for his loss......What happened to "The people have spoken"? Rand Paul accused him of using the Sandyhook victim's families as props- Finally- somebody calling a spade a spade!

Good.


I saw President's post-loss speech. He looked so pissed. Tango Sierra.


I got an email from Gabby Giffords - very crass.


I see that Alan Gottlieb changed his mind, after supporting the now-scotched bill. Wassup wit dat?

Don't get too comfortable. They will be back-again and again and again until they either get what they want or until people wise up and stop electing their freedom hating types types to office and I don't have much faith in that ever happening.

Here is who crossed over and how they voted.
  Logo 
  •   Senators who crossed party lines on background check vote by  | April 17, 2013
       
    The following is a list of lawmakers who crossed party lines on the "Manchin-Toomey amendment," the proposal to expand background checks to Internet sales and gun shows. The amendment failed in the Senate Wednesday on a 54-46 vote.
    Republicans who defected and voted "yes":
    Pennsylvania Sen. Pat Toomey
    Illinois Sen. Mark Kirk
    Maine Sen. Susan Collins
    Arizona Sen. John McCain
    Democrats who defected and voted "no":
    North Dakota Sen. Heidi Heitkamp
    Arkansas Sen. Mark Pryor
    Alaska Sen. Mark Begich
    Montana Sen. Max Baucus
    Nevada Sen. Harry Reid (Reid only voted no for procedural reasons, so that Democrats can call up the provision later on)

What Is A Veteran?
A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

Good news!      But they will be back, maybe some removed their head from their rectum and realized that bombs are illegal and someone had the unmitigated gall to set some off anyway.

Barry said it was shameful that the legislation was defeated. What is shameful is the way barry continues to use the Sandy Hook parents to further his agenda. Is he going to fly them home on Air Force 1?

Haha your right LongTom, Diane Feinstein looked like she was gonna hiss and fly off. :o The prez sounded downright communist as he spat those words at us, yes they all forget its our birthright and hes mad he can't yet steal it away from our citizens. The 2nd amendment has proven tougher than i'll bet he thought.  ;D

  Just one battle of the war though and i know they'll never stop trying. j

"          I was wondering about that this morning. Where are all the cameras and the press for their return ? Did he at least give them a bus ticket and a sack lunch to eat on the ride home?  I got a chuckle when Jay Carney was asked about Rand Paul accusing Obama of using the victims as props for his anti gun push. You could tell he struck a nerve. I guess the truth hurts.

It was a very narrow victory for us and that pretty much guarantees they will try again. What is needed is for voters to remember this in future elections and make them pay.  We have to hand the Democraps and sell out Returdlicans like RINO McCain a crushing defeat so that gun control becomes the political third rail they fear to touch, otherwise "you can't win a battle that never ends".
The story of David & Goliath only demonstrates the superiority of ballistic projectiles over hand weapons, poor old Goliath never had a chance.

We should all remember that the mid-term election is next fall.  Lets see what the makeup of the House and Senate will be then.  History shows that most incumbents remain in office.  I'm sure everyone who is licking their wounds today plans to return in the next session and feels they will have a stronger advantage. 
We have a chance to fight another day but only if enough of those who respect the Constitution remain in office and some of the 2A foes are defeated.  This election is simply a bridge to the 2016 election.  This Republic stands on unstable ground.  The next two political cycles will define the terms for many years. Aside from outright elections we still must contend with the morphing of the makeup of the Supreme Court.  rp

What did he expect ? Even his media lap dogs are having a hard time covering up how much this
man is hated , Globaly !
And with all the crap he is trying to do to us you would expect that people would want to be armed .
He is trying to turn this country into a Mexican getto and gang violence is on the rise everywhere .

Interestingly, that bill would have passed if it actually been a "background check" bill. But the various amendments to it were poison pills designed to abrogate American Second Amendment freedoms.

The suppressor and the short barrel rife laws are rediculous . A suppressor is nothing more than
a muffler and a short barrel rifle isn't much good as a real rifle .
A shoulder stock on a pistol only makes it a little more accurate but it sure takes away from its
CCW qualitys being a pistol in the first place . Dumb laws l  :o

I went a read it and it is scary, Fienstien thinks everything should be banned, up to and including cap pistols. After the document there were comments and they were interesting,
Quote
I dont own a gun but joined the NRA after our own government talked about using drones on its own citizens!

Umm, after reading these amendments, this looks like a ban is coming, just not in the form people would anticipate. They are basically granting the US Attorney General, Eric Holder, the power to determine the criteria for who can be eligible to pass a NICS background check.
Quote

Feinstein's junk bill is on her site. She basically wants to ban any and all semiauto rifles leaving only bolt action and single shot. To call this unconstitutional is to put it mildly. You cannot ban commonly-used defense weapons. That was established in Heller.
Seems some people that may or may not be gun enthusiasts see the gun grab for what it is.
