oh geez, this is partisan politics at its worst. The republicans submitted very reasonable compromise solutions that essentially gave the democratic party what they claimed they wanted but limited the lists they could use and since it was from republicans it gets denied and spread that the republicans halted all measures to protect americans.

Fixed it for ya.

with both of you. I think the Cornyn bill was the essence of a compromise between the two positions. So who's causing the gridlock now?

Why Did Senate Democrats Block Background Check, Terror Watch List Bills?

If you get your information only from left-leaning politimedia, you might get the impression that last night’s four votes on proposed firearms bills were sponsored by Democrats and blocked by Republicans.

The first vote was held around 6:00 PM. Republican Senator Charles Grassley’s bill to increase funding to the FBI’s NICS background check system so that the system had more accurate criminal and mental health data was blocked by Senate Democrats. It had 53 votes for it and 47 votes against it, falling short of the 60 vote majority needed because liberal Senators voted against it.

Shortly afterward, liberty-hating Connecticut Senator Chris Murphy’s attempt to force so-called “universal” background checks down the throats of American citizens was defeated on a 44-56 vote.

Wanted to buy a new gun, but I figure an investment in keeping what I have is a better thing right now.

Thanks for the post Charles!

Yeah, I don't get the impression that the two sides are working together and that the dems in the minority are somehow holding the whole chamber hostage.

Senate Democrats have ended a 14-plus hour filibuster calling for gun control reform, after Sen. Chris Murphy said he won promises for votes on two measures.

Republicans (if there are any left) need to start taking pages out of the Democrat play book... Promise them anything and then put the screws to 'em.

Since the last mid-term the only ones getting screwed are us.
