Expanded background checks fails in Senate

[hjmick]

You have to get voters


its like the republican party doesnt even know that anymore

is there a face palm smilie?

 

[Vandalshandle]

I just love watching the GOP commit suicide. My Senator Flake in AZ has earned my contempt for as long as he remains in office. McCain, on the other hand, has earned my vote for as long as he cares to remain in the Senate, even though I am a democrat. The GOP problem seems to be that they can not tell whether their constituancy is the NRA lobby, or the citizens of their states. It will bite them in the ass, like all the other issues for which they stand on the wrong side of history, for the last few years.

when was the last time you saw 90% of Americans be for something and it not get made into law?

answer my question and cite

if you don't, you're just proving you're a political hack TM

i actually like you a little, please don't let me down further

Gallup: Only 4% of Americans Think Gun Control is an Important Problem | CNS News

 

[Politico]

And only 4% say gun control is a priority. The majority would rather have Congress focus on the economy, jobs, and the deficit & debt problems.

Or at the very least the fact that someone blew up downtown Boston.

Stuff it chump...Democrats voted against that POS too.

when did the right begin hating democracy?

When it threatened their power. If you need a recent example, I can point out Obama's 2012 win. That's when the right toyed with the idea of changing electoral laws to apportion electoral votes proportionally which could mean that a candidate could win the popular vote and still lose the election (kinda like Gore in 2000 but on a more regular basis as opposed to the occasional fluke).

MSNBC is characterizing the republicans that voted against the bill as "shameful"

This type of bias is over the top and a stain on journalism

90% were pro gun background checks.

and do you believe opinion polls should control our country's legislation?

And do you believe that the Senate should determiine what is Constitutional, and what is not? I thought that it was the job of the Supreme Court to do that.

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.

Understandable.

But Reid would be perceived as a hero when republicans control the Senate again and are unable to repeal Social Security and Medicare for the same reason.

No Republican has ever said they wanted to repeal Social Security and Medicare.
They said they want to turn it over to the States to manage them, because individual Sates know better how to run them

What would have prevented Newtown from being worse is the Assault Weapons Ban, which the shooter's mother would never have been able to purchase, as well as not being able to purchase 30-round clips.

That lady would have had a much more difficult time buying that stuff, and if you're a pro-gun moron who's kids take your guns all the time in order to shoot innocent people for fun, imagine how many more kids could've escaped if that piece of shit was forced to reload every 10 rounds instead of every 30.

Exactly. They see they're brand of angry-white-man is going extinct, so they want to change the laws.

Under the Republican proposal, even though Obama won Pennsylvania like 55-45, a 2-1 margin of Republicans would have been sent to the House from that state.

Or the shooter would just carry more guns, idjit.

BTW, it only takes a scant couple of seconds to reload an AR-15 or a 1911 pistol.

Think he would have been able to get off 155 shots in under 5 minutes with more guns?

With only 10 rounds as a ceiling, a shooter would have to carry 16 guns to get 155 shots off. Think it can be done?

Except she didn't own any assault weapons. She owned semi-automatic rifles that resembled assault weapons. Unless you have a federal license,it is already illegal to own fully automatic weapons. As for the clip issue, one could easily carry multiple ten round clips and reload in seconds.

Easy, when you're using semi-auto handguns...He'd get off as many shots as the guns he has on hand, fool.

You lolberals really are quite dense, arentya?

I imagine you have never dropped and inserted an AR15 magazine.
