At first I was glad he got pissed- then I began to realize that when narcists get pissed- they also get even because they are NOT gracious losers- the left has proven this for many years- when they lose- they get nasty, vile and vindictive- and hwen a leftist narcisist loses- look out
He was actually shocked that everyoen didn’t agree with him and his bill, then his shock turned to rage- and you coudl see that coming out in him tonight-
He dug his heels in today, and he may just ram through an executive order based on ‘imminent necessity’ just like kkkuomo did in NY-
This bill shoudl have NEVER even gotten to the floor for a vote- the republicans betrayed the American peopel by allowing this unconstitutional bill to even be votred on- the republicans shoudl have REFUSED to even allow it to go to a vote and hsoudl have held presss conferences declarign to hte American peopel that they had our backs in regards to protectign oru constitutional rights, and they shoudl have said “The left is in session right now attemptign to vioalte your second amendment rights, and we will NOT be a party to such treason agaisnt the nation
But of course we all know the right has lost it’s spine and so they agreed to allow this unconstitutional bill to go to a vote- a bill that had NO BUSINESS even beign discussed- The right had a perfect opportunity to put hte left i ntheir place, and they blew it big time and isntead handed the left a victory even though they lost THIS TIME AROUND- because now the left knows they can ram one unconstitutional bill after another through to the floor for a vote without ABNY real opposition, and they know that eventualyl they will falsely shame enough traitorous republicans into votign for their bill
and kudos to the NRA stadnign up for gun owners by immediately comign out and calling the president’s accusatiosn rediculous and a silly knee jerk reaction and pointign otu that several democrats ALSO voted agaisnt the bill
Oh wait- Crickets again-
[[we still have the UN international gun control treaty that the senate will vote on]]
Yet ANOTHER UNCONSTITUTIONAL bill broguht before the senate to ote on- A;paprently we no logner care to keep our bills constitutional-
If they follow the schedule, it’s ten minutes until they gather to vote on these two amendments.

I have to laugh when they tell whoppers like that and then accuse the other side of lying. And apparently some of them believe their own propaganda, which is funnier still. I have a great idea - with 90% approval, the Dems should run strictly on gun control in 2014. What could possibly go wrong?
There are two kinds of gun control advocates; The ‘low information’ and the ‘true believer.’
The ‘low information’ gun control advocates don’t really know anything about guns. They just repeat whatever sound bite or pithy factoid they’ve heard lately. They are either scared of guns or simply don’t like them, don’t know why anyone would want to own a real gun, and wish guns would just go away. While they may not necessarily intend for everyone’s guns to be confiscated they would most likely say ‘Well, it’s probably for the best,’ and go along with it.
The ‘true believer’ gun control advocates have one simple goal: To make the private possession of any firearm a felony. Period. They want to confiscate every gun not controlled by the government. Some simply hate guns while others see privately held guns as an ‘impediment’ to some other goal or plan. They will take as many years as necessary to achieve this goal, decades even. They are nothing if not patient. They will never stop. When they grow too old to continue they will pass on the job to the next generation of ‘true believers.’
This bill’s defeat is simply a battle in an ongoing war.
Gun rights advocates must remain forever vigilant.
What is the NFA and the GCA?
These were amendments to the bill. There is still S649 to deal with.
The bare bill contains Sect 122 which states:
Subtitle B—Requiring a Background Check for Every Firearm Sale
it shall be unlawful for any person who is not licensed under this chapter to transfer a firearm to any other person who is not licensed under this chapter, unless a licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, or licensed dealer has first taken possession of the firearm for the purpose of complying with subsection (s).
This IS universal background checks.
“We Win. They Lose. The 2nd Amendment is Safe.”
+++++++++++++++++++++++++
Not until Cuomo and his Constitution assault mafia are perp marched in handcuffs to life in prison.
He violated his oath to support the Constitution and his henchman Shellllllllllllllllllldon Silver will prevent any blow back on Cuomo or his mafioso.

The GCA is the Gun Control Act of 1968 and the NFA is the National Firearms Act.
I guess that makes more sense, since the vote failed even with a majority.
But why would they amend a bill to include background checks on private purchases at gun shows and internet sales when it already included even stricter universal requirements?
Let’s not forget FOPA.
The amendment they voted for was actually weaker than the bill. I think that there is still a requirement for 60 votes to end debate. If it cannot pass that hurdle, the bill is essentially dead.
I think I get it now :)
By not watering down the bill, its passage is assumed to be doomed. Obama’s reaction certainly presumes a failure to end debate.

Any news on how that vote went down?
“Any news on how that vote went down?”
Those last two amendments passed but they were good ones. Reid still has to get a vote on the main bill but he didn’t say when he would do that.
I read that one of hte last two bills was a democrat’s that pushed for more ‘mental health’ evaluations? If so- that’s not a good hting- it opens up the door to more regulatiosn and restrictions- we already had bills for mental health regulations- but they want to control who can own guns for ANY reason- even if someoen was only briefly on soemthign like anti-anxiety
This is their backdoor entrance into confiscation as we’re seeign in ny,colorado,mich etc
