The assault on the second amendment of the Constitution continues. Yesterday, the US Senate voted 61-38 to have the latest gun control bill move forward for debate on the final package. Democrats easily managed to get over the 60 vote threshold to stave off a conservative filibuster by having 16 Republicans cross the aisle and violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution.
Remember these names:
Lamar Alexander (Tenn.) Kelly Ayotte (N.H.) Richard Burr (N.C.) Saxby Chambliss (Ga.) Tom Coburn (Okla.) Susan Collins (Maine) Bob Corker (Tenn.) Jeff Flake (Ariz.) Lindsey Graham (S.C.) Dean Heller (Nev.) John Hoeven (N.D.) Johnny Isakson (Ga.) Mark Kirk (Ill.) John McCain (Ariz.) Pat Toomey (Pa.) Roger Wicker (Miss.)
These turncoats need to be tossed out of office. As a country, we can no longer tolerate those who seek to water down or eliminate our rights guaranteed to every American citizen. As conservatives, we have to make sure that we primary all republican politicians who do not adhere to conservative American principles. Hopefully, this awful legislation won’t pass the House, but John Boehner let slip that he doesn’t need GOP support to pass the law. When he realized his slip, he backtracked, but Boehner has caved before.
As any sane person knows, you can never be totally free from danger. You can never get rid of the madman who is intent on wreaking harm to others and himself. Your best defense is the ability to defend yourself, and others, from harm. The vast majority of law enforcement in this country regularly testify to this fact.
Just consider that all these mass killings take place in one specific type of area: gun-free zones. These psychos know that there’s no one to stop them from going on a killing spree. The only thing that brings a halt to the violence is somebody else with a gun shows up. The crazed killer is either shot or he ends his own life not wanting to face an armed person who can deal with him.
The current gun control law does nothing to stop criminals from using guns. I love how they left lies and says that registration doesn't lead to confiscation. That same lie was used in Canada. Guess what happened? After registering legal firearms, laws were later passed to confiscate them. Weird, huh? We need to link up background checks to mental health registries, actually punish those who attempt to illegally get a firearm, and sentence violent criminals to lengthy prison sentences and make them serve their time. Liberals never seem to cotton on to the fact that only law-abiding citizens obey the law. Criminals don't. It's that damn simple.
Alexander and Corker have both managed to do what no democrat has ever managed to do..... force me to vote for a democrat. I have voted for over 40 years and have never voted for a democrat, but if they are not primaried out I will be doing so. I was sick of Alexander 4 years ago, and the ONLY reason I voted for him was to try to keep Obama from having 60 senators. Even that is not a good enough reason any more.
There were a few surprises on that list. From following twitter yesterday, I know a lot of people felt incredibly betrayed by Toomey from Pennsylvania.
I’m enjoying watching him getting trashed on Facebook. :)
It’s who’s who in Rino land. We can take McStupid’s girlfriend, Ms. Lindsay Graham, out next election.
