Are "gun-rights" advocates who say they "need" combat-style weaponry to "protect the nation from dictatorship" dangerous anarchists who are endangering the REAL Second-Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans with their paranoid, anti-government rants?

stick, my man, you diminish your credibility when you suggest that the nra didn't spend any money to influence that vote. the lobby has to be paid, and that is not chicken feed. and that is only the surface.

Really free? I've seen no proof the NRA spent any money to defeat these bills, Bloomberg however spent 12 Million on ads screaming for Americans to support the bills.

Did you call either of your Senators? I did, both of them. Brown's staff member who answered the phone acted as if she could care less what I thought. Portman's staff said they'd pass along my comments, and related that they'd gotten a lot of calls, with most asking that the Senator vote against the bills.

The attempt has failed and was tabled. Except Barry wants to keep it alive but the congress people put a stop to his madness. Quit whining and get over the loss!!!

83 to 94 % ???? That is a lying Democrat poll statistic. The people influenced their senators to vote NO on this violation of the bill of rights.!!!

Just let them please keep this up because their cutting their own throats !

And it aint over till the fat lady sings and she's not ready yet ! The NRA's money only stretches so far when between 83% and 94% of THE PEOPLE want this !

AND shut the fuque up.!!

Just like you told us on Nov 5th 2013 after the election. WE WON, YOU LOST GET OVER IT!!

Tiredbrain says:" We who understand the bill of rights " as explained to you by your right-wing crap factories are only getting what the republicans want you to get !

representative democracies !!

Aint it amazing what money will buy ??

The whole thing is your not giving up anything !! Not your liberty, etc , that's just the line word for word from your right -wing crap factories !

Very well said Tiredof it. And Stickhauler, I have noticed that the dems get really wound up when someone uses their own tactics against them.. think the polls are lies by the dems. Who would be in favor of bigger government (big brother is watching) involvement in times like these??No one in their right mind!! And we know gun owners are the most sane group of all of the morons out there.!!

It will never be over as long as there are fools like you that willingly give up your liberty for false security. We who understand the bill of rights will have to engage in an endless struggle to thwart you and your socialist and atheist allies. And WE WILL.

It aint over with yet pilgrim !!

"Reid, and other majority leaders before him, have developed a clever workaround: Just change your vote at the last minute if it looks as though you’re going to lose, then move to reconsider. In theory, any supporter of the bill or nomination in question could do the same, but traditionally it’s been the majority leader."

Harry Reid had a good reason to vote against the gun bill

by Dylan Matthews

(The Washington Post)

On Wednesday, Harry Reid voted against the Manchin-Toomey gun bill

“Senate Vote 100 - Rejects Cornyn Concealed Carry Reciprocity Proposal”

“Result: Amendment Rejected by a margin of 3 votes”

“Date of Vote: April 17, 2013”

“Time of Vote: 5:06 p.m”

(politics.nytimes)

stick - When you say, "those murdered children are merely props these evil people choose to use to gain what they want", you've said a mouthful.

Obama using people wearing medical lab jackets to appear a 'supporters' of his ObamaCare legislation. Obama using, on more than one occasion, disarmed, FORCED, law enforcement personnel to appear to be supportive of his gUN-control initiatives.

If they don't keep Biden under watch, I doubt if it would be beyond that man to tack up some blood-stained dolls, behind the podium, when he is enlightening us about how we should surrender our freedoms.

Really Freddie, you mean like Democrats forced a 60 vote majority deal when National Concealed Carry Reciprocity came up for a vote a few years back? So, doing that when YOUR side wants to invoke it is somehow good, but when it's used against you, it's bad? ***** when you don't get your way?

See, I'm not gloating over yesterday's vote, because it is fact that these same anti-gun folks are still there, looking for another way to push through their agenda. But cut the BS about this being about Newtown! Diane Feinstein was asked during Obama's first term when she was going to introduce her "new" AWB. She said she'd do it at a time and place when she chose to. The entire charade we've seen the past few weeks are a result of the left wanting to push this for years, those murdered children are merely props these evil people choose to use to gain what they want.
