He [Frist] then used parliamentary maneuvers to block Democrats from getting votes on amendments objectionable to the NRA. "We're being blocked by the power interests on the other side," shouted Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass. "That's the lockhold that the NRA has." Excellent.
Democrats did succeed in adding an amendment to require child safety locks to be purchased with every handgun, except those bought by government officials and police officers.
Not excellent.

The govt says locks must be included in handgun sales fine, but govt officials shouldn't get an exception.

Not excellent. Depends on your definition of "Child Safety Lock". The ones they use at all the gunshows look a lot like plastic zip-ties to me. Sure, toss one in the box. Heck, I'll take two.

Not excellent.Yeah, but we still won. Every gun I have purchased in the last few years' has come with a gun lock. I have a whole shoebox full of them!
