Wow, coming out of the ‘rat-dominated Senate, no less. I’m surprised at the strength of the aye votes.

Yup, believable. That’s right after the “Don’t worry honey, I’m sterile” promise.

Amen! Perhaps all the phone calls and Emails got through to them.. I’m thinkin’ there’s a mentality of “we’re not making that stupid 0bamacare mistake AGAIN” going on.. Good.

Lot of Rat congresscritters are worried about their voters who have guns. Lots of gun owners live in commie states and these senate and house worry about job security if they do this. Commie states that totally control everything will not worry about it, but in other states that are close to 50-50 in voting will cause Rats to vote with job security in mind.

The fact is that senators considering the background check legislation and other gun control measures got bombarded with calls, faxes, emails, and letters from good, law-abiding citizens worried about the Constitution being shredded. These senators are scared.

I know because of bunch of us little, ol' plebeians organized grassroots, spend money out of our own pockets, and got hundreds of people active. We didn't get a dime from any pro-gun groups, though they helped by providing timely legislative info.

Poor Obama having another tantrum. How will he spin 1 million Bostonians living under lockdown as paramilitary forces hunt down terrorists from Dagestan?

They must have figured out that the information released could reveal not just the status of lowly taxpayer scum like us, but that the aforementioned scum could find out which of the “elite” are gun owners.

Let’s get realistic. What are “they” gonna do to a state or community? Stop Federal handouts? All that does is penalize the folks living there.

IMHO, the person who released the info should be tracked down. A mandatory $100,000 fine and a mandatory 10 years in solitary confiment in a Supermax prison. Maybe that would be sufficient motivation to not do it.

Well that’s easy. Obama just won’t. He won’t invade any countries financing or harboring terrorists because this is clearly an isolated incident and of no relation to Islam. We shouldn’t jump to conclusions.

I think that’s a spot on analysis, thanks. I love it! Because, although they like to portray themselves as fully committed to the cause, unafraid of the consequences, willing to go down with the ship, etc., this proves them, once again, to be liars. Really cheers me up, because these last four years have been damned discouraging!

The amendment is largely symbolic, as evidenced by the scant attention it got Thursday on Capitol Hill.

So if the press is not in full cheerleader mode for it like they were for the main gun control bill the vote is merely symbolic.

Looks like a message received is a lesson learned.

This is only an amendment to a bill that was killed.

What we need to see now is a “gang of 6x” or some such to propose a stand-alone bill which has this effect.

Until a stand-alone bill is voted on, these votes are meaningless.
