Obama Warns GOP About Blocking Gun Bill

[rightwinger]

So much for Doctor/Patient confidentiality right?

When that patient is a danger to himself and others? Yup

The main problem with mentally ill people going on killing sprees is not guns, it's the fact that mentally ill people aren't getting adequate treatment, and what you're suggesting makes it more difficult for doctors to treat patients.

Depression is the major cause of suicide and guns are the primary means of killing yourself

Depression and guns don't mix

 

[Yurt]

Why not vote on it and see where everyone stands?

much better to have obama "warn" the gop and look like a badass

btw...i'm sure you have no problem with holding up voting on something you're against....

What are Republicans afraid of?

Afraid to show they support the NRA? Why won't they just vote on it if they feel so strongly? Why hide behind a filibuster?

you're a hypocrite. you don't say the same thing when dems filibuster.

you're a hack, nothing more.

Again, what you're suggesting is going to result in less people getting the treatment they need. Can you see that?

To save their stinking guns?

If you suffer from Depression your gun is more likely to be used to kill yourself than to save your life

Oh no, I'm so afraid!

Patients would be less likely to be honest with their doctors because they fear their guns will get taken away. Do you dispute that?

USMB has officially been overrun.

Is that an old pic of Democrat Senator Robert Byrd? He was a real big wig in the kkk.

Spoken like someone who doesn't have a shred of experience in the medical field. Many people suffer temporary depression after the loss of a loved one, break up of a marriage or even losing a job or house. It's normal to feel blue when bad things happen, but rarely does it equate to serious mental illness. Well, until now. If a liberal thinks someone had a bad day, they claim they'll kill themselves or others. Couldn't be farther from the truth.

Fact is, even people who have lost spouses, jobs or houses still value their life and would prefer to maintain their right to defend themselves. I do realize that for some libs who have been taught to fear even pretend guns, that's a pretty big concept to get your head around. Perhaps some therapy might do the trick.

yea, remember when the original night riders were all democrats trying to undo the freedom driven civil liberties the republicans had just legislated and fought a war to bring to the american public.

 

[RoadVirus]

obama warns the GOP but it's the democrats worrying about keeping their jobs.

Obongo's in denial about that. He thinks all Democrats in Congress are supportive of his anti-gun agenda near an election cycle.

depression is a mental illness, attack the cause of the illness,not the implement of suicide. suicide with an assault rifle is very difficult if not impossible.

there was a knife attack at a campus yesterday, should we have background checks on everyone buying a knife?

Depression is a mental illness that is the leading cause of suicide. Having a weapon at the ready makes suicide more likely

How many people were killed in that knife attack vs if he had an AR-15 with multiple 30 round magazines?

Is the GOP's gun control filibuster threat collapsing? - The Week

Is the GOP's gun control filibuster threat collapsing? Democrats may have the votes to advance gun-control proposals past a procedural hurdle By Jon Terbush | April 9, 2013 inShare.14 Comments
Harry Reid has had it with the GOP's unwillingness to even begin the debate on gun control.Threats of a filibuster on gun control proposals may go out with a whimper, as several Republican senators announced Tuesday that they'd side with Democrats and open up debate on the most ambitious gun legislation in 20 years.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) filed cloture on the motion Tuesday, setting up a procedural vote on Thursday that will determine whether the proposals move ahead — or if they get stonewalled by Republican opposition before debate has even begun.

Four months after the school massacre in Newtown, Conn., the Senate technically has not even begun debate on any proposal to reduce gun violence, a source of frustration to gun-control advocates — and Reid.

"We’re going to vote Thursday," Reid told reporters. "I'm going to file cloture on the bill tonight. It would be a real slap in the face to the American people not to do something on background checks, on school safety, on illegal trafficking which everybody thinks is a good idea."

The entire article. Or are you not aware what "fact" means?

 

[FA_Q2]

And which parts aren't facts?

Earlier you were criticizing them for the possibility that they would filibuster. Is this not what you wanted? Why are you bothering with this as you were the only one leveling the filibuster accusation to begin with?

If you are asking for non-facts though – how about the article claiming that debate has not happened at all because a filibuster (which is the exact opposite of what a filibuster mean) and that a vote for cloture opens up debate which is exactly the opposite of what cloture means. Cloture LIMITS debate, it does not open anything.

I would expect more precise wording from something that claims to be bringing us the ‘news.’ They might be correct that there will be no filibuster; it would not surprise me at all. What I don’t expect though is for the bill to pass so I don’t really care what the senate does.
