Broken clock principal applies here.. Cruz is a Lying crack pot.

[NorthMountain]

There's no indication he doesn't back us

Talk to me again when he's done hobnobbing with the NRA. Meanwhile, the demonicRats are moving with their gun control agenda. Where do you stand, Donald?

[headstamp 2]

Filibusters only work on the GOPe if its done by the other party evidently.

[Carriage Hill]

Amazing how they turned the whole Orlando slaughter on a dime, from “islamic terrorism” to “hate crime” and “gun control”. Actually, it’s not amazing, but expected. They were ready for it, and geared-up quickly.

[wita]

You are right, but the left is still making hay by putting everyone on the defensive.

Hobnobbing with the NRA? He opted to talk with them for their input - which will be that they don't agree with taking guns off the table for those on no-fly lists.

Have you been totally asleep for the past few months or are you still hoping for Cruz to rise from the ashes of his failed campaign by treachery at the Convention?

It's absolutely amazing that so many jump to any conclusion they can, with no data other than he will talk with the agency that wants to preserve the 2nd Amendment and they use that as some sort of "proof" that he's been lying to us. He has come out in super strong support of the 2nd Amendment and like any successful leader, he will talk the details into place by gong to the best possible sources.

Once again - Hillary is the enemy and we have too many that seem to forget that as they howl about the sky falling.

PA isn’t one of them.
Every retail firearm purchase goes thru NICS here.

They’re going after private sales. You won’t be able to advertise or sell on a local gun forum if they get their way.

[Carriage Hill]

👍 👍 👍
Gutless and brainless.

[Ted Grant]

The GOP is tough - they lasted a whole lot of hours!

God bless you.

"Murphy said Senate leadership agreed to allow a vote on legislation from Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., that would let the government bar sales of guns and explosives to people it suspects of being terrorists. Feinstein offered the amendment in December, a day after an extremist couple killed 14 people in San Bernardino, California, but the Republican-run Senate rejected the proposal on a near party-line vote. He said the compromise also will allow a vote on an amendment to expand background checks.”

Again, Tim Murphy (R PA) is trying to do the right thing. His background in Mental Health and the fact his bill deals with the dysfunctionality of many DC platforms that don't help the Mentality Ill or they don't stop someone before they are an issue and from what I garner his bill doesn't trample on the 2nd Amendment. This bill has been around a while. Now Feinstein and the Senate want to put their stamp on it which will be a poison pill which means nothing will get fixed and it's failure in the House and or Senate will be blamed on Extreme Republicans as we head towards November....

What sucks is this bill could have been passed waht 3 or 6 months ago, and chances Obama might have vetoed it given it doesn't fit his agenda. Where were Ryan or McConnell to move it forward? Idiots.....

I can see that one coming.

Research Tim Murphy and his testimony to the House and his appearances on CSPAN...

[NorthMountain]

Blah blah blah

Talk to me again when he’s done hobnobbing with the people who twice endorsed Joe Manchin. He’d better get moving; the bad guys already are.

BTW, here’s my original comment: “Trump needs to back US, or he’s just another false hope.”

We don’t work for the President. The President works for us. Don’t forget that.

[Thibodeaux]

I think you are right

There seems to be no boundary on the outrageous action to push the agenda

[Kit cat]

Back ground checks and gunshots do background checks, when you purchase a gun on line you go to your nearest Fu store for the background check the gun is sent to that store for you to pick up!!! That is the way it is in CA. ALTHOUGH CA. is hell where guns are concerned I can’t wait to get the hell out of here!!!!

[G Larry]

No, my question is different:

What bill were Republican’s so excited to get passed and signed into law, that they even cared about a filibuster.

If Bambi was ready to sign ANY legislation, then why would the GOP push it?

[Carriage Hill]

I don’t know. This is the only one I find on the docket for now:

[daler]

Can you recall any occasion or issue in recent memory that Democrats didn’t get what they wanted?

[CopperTop]

"..They’re going after private sales. You won’t be able to advertise or sell on a local gun forum if they get their way.."

Yeah, I know. Used to work the "Fun Show" in Greensboro. It's not a "loophole" as they like to put it. Like someone is getting away with something.

Either way, good luck to'em enforcing that crap.

[Carriage Hill]

The GOPe is hinged at the waist from bending-over and grabbing their ankles.
