I really hope they experience the wrath that their actions are going to create.

I hope that and that her amendment kills it dead

I'm all for this, the whole thing is dead now. It won't make it out of the Senate.

Not only that, but I can't wait to see next year the fate of those who AYE'd it when elections come up and they get axed.

As much as I want to agree with you, I'm getting a bad feeling there's something going on that makes her think she can get her way with it.. Look how many ass hats crossed over to allow this bill to be debated..

Heck..they didn't read anything this time around, either.

From what I was reading those R's who voted yes, were wined and dined on the D's yacht. A LOT of drinking was involved and something had to be offered up for them to even think of accepting this pill

[Denny]

I'd debate a bill that would allow ignorance to be exposed. I just don't see how this is even a fight. Anyone that wants restrictions on ways for people to defend themselves is not a true American. Period. Unfortunately, America has way too many Non-American Americans.

Ghost...here's your answer... Guys, we're fucked!!

From our friend Ted Cruz

Why did the Senate vote on a gun bill no one had even read? Joint statement with United States Senator Mike Lee and Senator Rand Paul:

This morning the Senate will vote on the motion to proceed to the firearms bill (S.649). It is expected that the Toomey-Manchin provision announced yesterday will replace the current language regarding background checks. Yet, as of this morning, not a single senator has been provided the legislative language of this provision. Because the background-check measure is the centerpiece of this legislation it is critical that we know what is in the bill before we vote on it. The American people expect more and deserve better.

Unfortunately, the effort to push through legislation that no one had read highlights one of the primary reasons we announced our intention to force a 60 vote threshold. We believe the abuse of the process is how the rights of Americans are systematically eroded and we will continue to do everything in our power to prevent it.

[Denny]

We're not fucked. We just become outlaws by default.

Saw that shit coming from a mile away.

[helosailor]

Saw that shit coming from 9000 miles away.

[Vertnut]

She's thinking all those lobbyists' from Sandy Hook (who used to be parents) will cry long and hard enough to the senate to pull off the vote. Not one single right they want to take away from us would have saved ANY of those kids.

[68RR]

another thing to ponder.. One of my old teachers used to have a saying....

"The Empty Wagon makes the most noise"

Some of our supposed "Friends" ie Republicans who have been spouting off about how they support the 2A aren't any better than the Dems and are posturing themselves for future gain...
