Expanded Background Checks Fail in the Senate - The Myth of

[BPNovum]

So, for now, liberty is a little safer. The gun control debate appears to be all but dead at this point and President Obama is once again left with egg on his face after an embarrassing defeat. But was it really a defeat, or merely a distraction?

He is pretty angry. I wish he could muster such anger ove American ambassadors being killed or American children being blown to prices, but that is neither here nor there.

The fact remains that he and his consorts got caught with their hand in the bill of rights cookie jar and got their fingers slapped a bit. Now he wants to cry like a spoiled brat to cps that his mommy spanked him. You had your vote Mr. President, now perhaps we can all move onto more pressing matters....oh like the millions out of work and the enormous burden that your healthcare bill has become on the American family.

Thank you, I wanted to post a reply like this earlier but couldn't do it and stay within forum rules.

I love this picture of DiFi

I don't really care if he's angry. I hope he's good and angry and loses sleep over it. Then he'll know just a little of how I've felt since his first inauguration. Big deal. One of his megalomaniacal attempts to "transform" the country has failed........when all the others have succeeded "spectacularly." He's a cry-baby. And he dove into the gun-control thing because (has anyone noticed) as long as he kept hammering on that, the press gave him a big fat pass on the economy, jobs, taxes, and they stopped talking about HIS sequestration.......after they had FINALLY started talking about it. Now that the gun bills are for the most part behind us, the press is going to start debating his job performance failures in all those other areas....or at least some of them will.

thats is great news
I emailed ted last night about dummies voting for things with no words or even for shame....never reading it

[Rrash]

Just remember to let them be the ones that look bad. We don't need to be sore winners.

[JALLEN]

Don't go to sleep. This is just the latest salvo. They'll be back.

If somehow we could get 60 votes in the Senate, they would have to wait before they could come back.

DiFi suffers from PTDS-like derangement from having been first on the scene of the Milk and Mosconi shootings that made her Mayor of San Francisco. I believe I read that she reached to see if one of them had a pulse and poked her finger through a bullet hole in the wrist or something like that.

She was just re-elected and will be 80 in a month or so. She has said if she had the votes she would pick up every gun in America. For the next 5 years, this will be her windmill to tilt at.

Hopefully he will pivot to the REAL problem out there. Pressure cookers.

We need to make sure that all pressure cookers are bought through a federally licensed appliance dealer with a complete background check. The cooking show loophole must be closed, no more private sales of pressure cookers without a background check. We also need to address high-capacity pressure cookers that can carry more than 10 ball bearings.

[/sarcasm off]

With all the focus on the implement of death in the gun debate, the pressure cooker debate must be next. No?

I'm an avid pressure cooker user with my garden harvest, if I have to go through an FFL to get a new gasket for my 8qt I'm gonna blame you!

Is for the children. If we can save one life it is worth it. We have to do something. We are not trying to take your pressure cookers. Just common sense regulations.

I think his game plan all along was to get "ammunition" for 2014 so he can say that Republicans are unwilling to make changes necessary to protect our schools. A battle may have been won but it's going to be a fierce war leading up to 2014.

That indeed may be true...but I saw the analysis of which Senators are up for re-election...and the only slam-dunk the Democrat Party has is the seat in Maine...whose Senator voted for this stuff anyway. Yeah, I don't like losing that seat, but I do hope that maybe the Democrats will lose more than they gain on this one.

Personally, I'm far more worried about losing control of the House. If the Democrats chose to, they could already go "nuclear" in the senate.

The bill never even came up to a vote in the House...if the Republican Party loses the House, it won't be because of gun control.
