LAS VEGAS, April 19, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Mayors Against Illegal Guns announced today that concerned Nevadans will gather with Mayors Against Illegal Guns, ProgressNow Nevada, and veteran and gun owner Johnathan L. Abbinett on Saturday for a "Shame on You" protest against Senator Dean Heller, who voted with the Washington gun lobby and against the 90 percent of Nevadans who support commonsense, life-saving background checks for all gun sales.
This week Senator Heller was among those who voted against bipartisan legislation proposed by Senators Joe Manchin and Pat Toomey that would have closed the loopholes that make it easy for criminals and dangerous people to get guns.
Event details are below.

uh, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) also voted against it. Even if it was for procedural purposes, the day before he said he would vote his conscience.

You are absolutely correct, My mistake was in not labeling my question as rhetorical.
Is ProgressNow Nevada anything like Progress Kentucky? Just askin’.
No, really, that’s ok. No bad on your part.
I take every opportunity I find to inform folks of the twisted crap the neo-communists spew.
It appears that the 90% BS will be spewed for quite some time so the more folks see the explanation of what they did, the better the odds that some mouthy communist sympathizer talking head will sound off in front of someone that is ready for them.
And then the spanking will commence...
