Congress Stalemated On Guns Despite Shooting, Filibuster

WASHINGTON (CBS SF/AP) — The slaughter in Florida and an attention-grabbing filibuster in the Senate did little to break the election-year stalemate in Congress over guns Thursday, with both sides unwilling to budge and Republicans standing firm against any new legislation opposed by the National Rifle Association.

Democrats renewed their call to action after Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn., held the floor along with colleagues in a nearly 15-hour filibuster that lasted into the early hours Thursday.

Just heard on Lou Dobbs there are 1.1 MILLION people on the no fly list. They will be taking the guns from over a MILLION people. Obama put 450,000 people on the list in one year.

May they keep up the good work. Wear the Dems down and send them home.

No biased reporting there.

The shooter HAD a background check, and was a security guard to boot.

“Universal background checks” would not have stopped the muzzie terrorist.....only penalize innocent Americans.

When is a senator going to filibuster for tougher immigration laws from muslim countries, like Afghanistan?

The chances are slim and none, and slim just left the building.

Muslim goes full jihad, calls the cops and the media to tell them he is doing jihad and the Democrats answer is to disarm Americans.

That tells you what side they are on.

Chances are 95% of those people pose zero threat.

‘Republicans standing firm against any new legislation opposed by the National Rifle Association’

‘Republicans standing firm against any new legislation that corrupts our Bill of Rights’

There fixed it.

Dang - sure has the smell of a politburo enemies list, doesn't it.

 

 

[I want the USA back]

dems are disgusting. A savage Muslim kills people and they refuse to say “Muslim” and try to take guns from Christians and Jews.

[justlurking]

Chances are 95% of those people pose zero threat.

Yes, and it makes it much more difficult to focus on the remaining 5% that are real threats.

[Georgia Girl 2]

There ya go.

[originalbuckeye]

‘Obama put 450,000 on the list in one year’

Sounds like it was a canned speech, written a while ago and just waiting in the shadows for a tragedy, so the speech could be used.

Maybe they want to get more Christians and Jews killed.

That's alright. "They won't do anything to us, after all we're Germans," too.

Bingo!!

[Yogafist]

It must amaze the terrorists that they can attack us, and our government’s reaction is to make their next attack easier. Kind of like a thief robbing a store and only getting a couple hundred bucks, so the legislature passes a law requiring the store to keep more money in the register.

It must be very on these very old people having to stay up so late and even missing their bathroom breaks
