The Senate delivered a devastating blow to President Obamas agenda Wednesday by defeating a bipartisan proposal that would have expanded background checks on gun sales. It failed by a vote of 54-46, short of the necessary 60. A handful of Democrats voted against it and only four Republicans supported the measure backed by the White House. The vote effectively halted gun control in the upper chamber.

DOESN’T HELP THAT THE 4TH ESTATE IS THE NEW 3RD REICH....
No, you’re correct SJB, it doesn’t.
But we still beat them yesterday. And it’s sticking in their craw.
Which makes me smile a little wider today, in a time when there’s not much to smile about.
Enjoy the moment, brother.
Yeah man!!!
Not letting the guard down though. We’ve much work to do.
I’ll fight this fight for the rest of my life, however long God gives me.
I hope God gives you quite a while.
Me too!!!! Haha!!!
Indeed!!!!!!!
“...You and I may be long dead, but they will keep bringing it back....”
And in the meantime, before that “long dead” thing happens, you and I - all of us - have a duty, obligation, and responsibility to be training and educating a New generation of Gunnies and schooling them in their rights and obligations as Citizens. And showing them who the good guys are and who bad guys are, and how to tell them apart.
Take kids to the range. Make it a priority. Take ladies, young, elderly, in between, and teach them to shoot, and let them get the understanding of what it means to be able to protect yourself - and who it is that is trying to see that that never happens, so they vote accordingly in every election.
We’re not as temporary as we think we are; what we do, what we say, all that we are, is-does-and-will impact those that come after we are gone.
The other side has been subverting us for decades. And they STILL lost yesterday because people have been hammering the critters on the phone, by mail, by email.
This isn’t over by a long shot.
The Dems never let anything die? Sure. But neither will we.
F*** ‘em. We’re Americans. We were BORN with an upraised middle finger.
This is exactly what this side needs. After the election and the no-win tax bill the Dems including his Highness himself concluding that Obama was all powerful and could turn water into wine and command the Sea's part. Obama believed it too.
Meanwhile of the GOP side the word was it was over and we might as well kill each other.
So the GOP sorely needed some wins.
And this one was sweet.
The Dems here at work are shocked and upset but I am trying to show sensivity as always rather than gloat BAHAAHAHA.

Yeah, figured as much; figured he’d stamp his feet and throw a tantrum and try to use EOs.
We’ll see.
And here’s how to push back:

New law protects 2nd Amendment from feds
God bless the 10th Amendment too...
It isn’t gloating...
Just smile at them and grin a lot. And then you can throw in “We Won this one. Deal with it.”
Sensitively, of course...
Great advice . It went kind of like this :
SOL :” I told you the bill would die ”
LIB :” Republicans made a big mistake. They will be punished for this. ”
SOL:” Yes, Obama was hopping mad, I was laughing at the TV while he was complaining ”
LIB:” Bloomberg will run ads against those Senators who voted NO ”
SOL :” Good, he can start with the four Dems who voted against it. Maybe the GOP can take back the Senate with his help. ”
LIB:” This bill would have passed if Obama had pushed on it much sooner right after the shoooting ”
SOL :” You might be right, this is Obama’s failure, he failed. Maybe his voters will stay home next time ”
LIB:” Let's change the subject. How about that Boston bombing? ”
SOL:” It's terrible, so when will Obama demand a bill banning pressure cookers? ”
LIB:frowning.
