Republicans be Warned: Blocking Gun Control Debate will Hurt You

[CrusaderFrank]

In 2014, will Dems campaign on curtailing the Second Amendment?

 

[The2ndAmendment]

Don't worry, stay deluded, these filibusters are waking more people up than they are turning off.

Anyone who would be turned off by this filibuster wouldn't vote for them anyway. lolol

 

[Sallow]

The American people will now KNOW who the republican party really works for

Sorry... who?

I guess the NRA

And the Koch Brothers and Grover Norquist.

Heck..they signed the pledge.

 

[MarcATL]

Glad you think so.

Wonder how many voters in America own guns??

When you are going to pull your head up out your far RW A$$ Claudette?

Do you not realize that 90% of Americans support background checks and/or SOME form of gun-control?

This is including gun-owners, including Republicans.

Why must you continue to spout and spew some tired far RW party line?

What do you think you're accomplishing by that?

Respond, don't react please.

well acording to the lib spin media. of course calls and letter going into the politicians tell a whole different story. take a look at andrew cuomo's FB page. like 98% of the responses are against his safe act. even democrats who were all anti gun in public thinking sandy hook was going to propel their agenda to glory are backing off now. they see what the real support is from direct communication they are receiving

14 people stabbed in texas. quick, pass tougher gun laws

Kelly, who with wife and retired Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords leads the gun-control advocacy group Americans for Responsible solutions, said at least 80 percent of voters in Paul and Rubio’s districts favor the checks for potential gun buyers.

If the GOP filibusters and/or continues to block even debate on proposed legislation, they will feel the voter's wrath in 2014 and again in 2016. With 80% of voters supporting enhanced background checks, the GOP could lose the House in 2014, if they continue to deal for the NRA. I guess they enjoy those fat checks from the NRA more than anyone realized.

Not when the bill has other onerous provisions in it, like assault weapon band magazine bans and registry of owners.

You realize that the assault weapons ban and the magazine items have been stripped from the bill? The only thing left is the enhanced registration, supported by 88% of voters. The GOP is afraid of losing those envelops with cash that NRA lobby slip to them when they vote the NRA's position. The NRA is lead by the gun industry, not the membership. It all comes down to cash...The Dems will pepper the airwaves with Sandy Hook parents if the GOP blocks debate on this bill. You can bet on it....

Enhanced registration is by far much more of an insult to your rights than some " assault weapons" ban.

Having to prove oneself worthy of a constitutional right is as bad as it gets.

especially when they argue so strongly against enhanced registration when it comes to voting. we can't do that because voting is a right. we can't do that because it negatively impacts the rights of the poor. every excuse under the sun. libs are hypocrites

In this case very much so.

mark kelly said so. if it's good enough for the koolaid drinking anti gun nuts it should be proof enough for the rest of us sane. rational folks

 

[007]

Actually OP's article is right.
This might be one of those times to set your values aside and win votes. Right now the majority supports universal background checks. It might be time to swallow the pill and support it, at least until the next election cycle.

Yeah, this is Obama's best chance to win the House back for Dems. Then he controls the whole of Congress

Oh, great.

I guess these libs also missed or more likely ignored this.

A new CBS News poll shows 47 percent of Americans now support tougher gun laws, compared to 57 percent after the December 2012 shooting massacre at a Connecticut elementary school in which 20 first-graders and six adults were killed.

 

[GeoLaureate8]

1. They don't have the ability to stop a debate or a vote, they can only delay and force a required 60 votes to pass.

2. I don't care if the 96% of idiots in America want Universal Background Checks, they don't understand what a Universal Background Check means. A Universal Background Check law means a gun registry, and historically gun registries precede gun confiscation. Think it can't happen? They did it in Australia, they did it in Britain, did it to New Orleans during Katrina. Gun confiscation is real.

i see what happened here, they added the two numbers together and as usual, their math sucks

Dat's wight, wabbit.

I agree with you, and that's why I am so amazed gun nuts are so desperate to save these indefensible assault rifles designed to kill lots of people at once. There is NO way to defend ownership of this kind of military gun, and so look what is happening -------- they are going after ALL guns with this registration deal, and then, they may very well ban all guns!

I wouldn't care for that myself.

Gun nuts need to jettison the assault rifles before they sink the ship.

It will be quite easy for the Republicans to avoid the problem. All they need do is propose an alternative bill calling for Universal Background Checks without the record keeping requirement which Chuck Schumer is insisting upon (and which amounts to backdoor gun registration). Then the dems will have two choices, approve the republican bill or have nothing and be blamed for torpedoing Universal Background Checks by insisting upon gun registration, something that even Obama is on record opposing.
