I tend to agree. I can’t see how this garbage has any chance of passing in the GOP controlled House of Representatives. Even many Democrats in the House would have trouble explaining a vote for this gun grabbing in the next election.
While I’d prefer it gets fillibustered and doesn’t even have a chance to go any further, I think it might actually be better to force a lot of Red state and pro-gun leaning swing state Democrat Senators to vote for this political poison and then pay the price in 2014 and 2016.
As unpopular as new gun control is now, by 2014, the memory of Newton will have faded and the gun grabbers will no longer be able to stand on the corpses of the dead children and exploit their tragic deaths to push their anti-American agenda.
One thing to point out about a Filibuster; Reid can circumvent a filibuster anyway by allowing amendments. Once the amendments are passed the Bill will be killed.
