“It’s been nearly a decade since Congress made any significant changes to federal gun laws. In April 2007, Congress passed a law to strengthen the instant background check system after a gunman at Virginia Tech was able to purchase his weapons because his mental health history was not in the instant background check database. Thirty-two people died in the shooting.
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...
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?
