It’s amazing how much political capital they are willing to expend for a database full of the names of gun owners.

“We can’t bring back the bill as is,” Murphy said. “There are plenty of ways in which you can change the background check piece of the bill to allay those concerns.”


“We can’t bring back the bill as is,” Murphy said. “There are plenty of ways (to screw over the American people) in which you can change the background check piece of the bill to allay (appease the Fabian Socialists) those concerns.”

There, fixed it...Well, sort of...

Isn’t it ironic that a party that was so antI- government in the past was usurped into one that trusts the government so blindly that they believe everything that they’re told including how to think by their greatest tool - the MSM. Critical thinking and common sense in the real world no longer exists because the socialist puppet masters have re-defined what they are according to their rules so that both are merely a mirage and not the real thing. The problem is the liberals don’t even know they’ve been deceived.

Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., who sets the chamber’s floor schedule, told The Washington Examiner a bill could be brought up “at a moment’s notice” and very soon.”When we have five [additional] votes, it’s time to call it,” Durbin said.

That’s the game , right there.

All they need are five more solids and they vote and go on recess for summer.

They won’t be in session for the fall out.

I have told these buffoons more times than I can count. Does anyone think they are listening to us? Gimme a break.

Boehner: I Don’t Need GOP to Pass Gun Law

NO MORE WRITING CONGRESS FROM THIS GUY - WHEN THE STUPID PARTY REELECTED THIS GUY TO THE WEEPER OF THE HOUSE I KNOW IT IS TRULY OVER. I find the GOP more despicable than the RAT party - at least in the later one would know how they will vote.

Vote against him, no matter who it is, and pray for a good conservative to primary him.

I heard Senator Kelly Ayotte on a Boston radio talk show yesterday.

Those “angry constituents,” according to the senator, are being bused in from out-of-state....she claims they’re not even New Hampshire residents.

Sen. Ayotte also said that Mikey Bloomberg is spending $750,000 on ads against her.

Kelly Ayotte also mentioned she is vehemently opposed to the internet sales tax and she intends to express her concerns to members of the House before they vote.

I thought background checks fell six votes short of the sixty required, not four votes short as mentioned in this article.

Did 54 senators vote “yea?”

Would be gun grabbers are still throwing that 90 percent number around?

Yep and we are going to be seeing it for a long time until some talking head gets burned big-time on a large national TV show by somebody with the following info...



L - I - E.

Actually, TWO lies.

There was only ONE poll (lie #1) and it never asked that question (lie#2).

It contained a vague question regarding only background checks.

38. Do you support or oppose requiring background checks for all gun buyers?

"Universal background checks" are NOT background checks.

What the neo-communists want with "Universal background checks" is a cross-linked database that includes medical records, prescription drug records, Military service records, credit scores, grade school and college records, school "resource officers" records, civil judgments, employee drug testing, etc, etc.

Essentially, any scrap of data that can be tied to you. At that point the benevolent shepards in our "most transparent" administration will set the sell / no sell bar as they see fit.

That is not the straightforward "do you have a felony conviction" check.

And the 90% figure?

They are referring to the Quinnipiac University poll from Feb, 2013.

It is a twisting of what was actually asked.

Yeah, I know, SHOCKING, right?

February 7, 2013 - Americans Back Women In Combat 3-1, But Less For Draft, Quinnipiac University National Poll Finds; Support For Universal Gun Background Checks Is 92%

http://www.quinnipiac.edu/institutes-centers/polling-institute/national/release-detail/?ReleaseID=1847

Demographics...

The questions...

What is glaringly obvious by it’s absence is the exact description of what comprises a “universal background check” because it never did ask that question.

It also does not differentiate between a private sale and a FFL sale when referring to “gun buyers.”

Here is the actual question...

38. Do you support or oppose requiring background checks for all gun buyers?

So of course the question is vague in that it only says “background checks.”

NOT universal background checks.

But when it comes out of the neo-communists’ mouth it has transformed into...

SUPPORT FOR UNIVERSAL GUN BACKGROUND CHECKS IS 92%

Umm, no, that is NOT the question that was asked.

Quinnipiac University Polling Institute... Anti-American Citizens rights groups, Washington Examiner, you LIE.



One more thing...

Quinnipiac University
275 Mount Carmel Avenue
Hamden, Connecticut 06518.

Only a leftard would think we should have greater background checks when we exercise our constitutional rights, but that it’s a crime to ask if someone is in our nation illegally.
