- with McConnell and 14 other Republicans giving it a boost

The Senate voted 65 to 34 to end a Republican-led filibuster on the gun reform package, with final passage coming as early as later Thursday

Senators were working on an agreement that would allow them to expedite the process instead of waiting 30 hours for a final vote

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell was among the 15 Republicans to vote in favor of the package

The House could pass the package by the end of the week House Republican leadership is encouraging members to vote against it

It’ll help.

It’s easier to replace an incumbent Rat then an incumbent Establishment.
We’re going to suffer no matter which pill we take, may as well take the one that has a chance to be neutralized.

Repeal the 17th.

Senators should not be elected by Popular vote.
The states have no representation in government anymore.

Term Limit Representatives to 1 term and pick them at random from a district. You get selected, you either serve or pass. either way you get one chance.

By answering a question with a question, you’ve answered the question.

By not answering my question, you’ve answered my question.

Same standard.

That is actually not true at all. Once someone is elected, its very very difficult to get them out since they have name recognition and fundraising so once the Rat gets in, they tend to only lose in major waves - which could be 8-12 years later. Meanwhile you get 10-14 years of horrible voting and again you send the wrong signal that the electorate is moving left. If you want a protest vote, at least vote CP or LP.

Indeed, Cornyn may be the most untouchable Senator of all time. Nobody will come close on a primary.

I am still correct its easier to toss a rat out in the general then a rino in the primary.

Primary elections are always low turn out.

As the black hoodlum in Chicago line up to slaughter as many of their kind this weekend will not change by this law. Only law-abiding citizens, who work, are good folks, will be harmed. The bang gangers will be as heavily armed as always. Stolen guns or those shipped from Meddico arm them to the max. They ain’t gonna miss a thang.

Partner, me too!

Did anyone see riots after this bill cleared the House and went to Biden for signature?

I see these stupid ads saying how guns are the number 1 killer of kids in America.

Patently 100% false.

Unless kids are dying from guns at 800,000 shootings a year, ABORTION IS THE NUMBER 1 KILLER OF KIDS IN AMERICA.

And we just took away the national legal ability of women to murder children.

That is progress. This will save hundreds of thousands of American children the left seems to fret so much about being murdered eaxh year. Crocodile tears from cruel tyrants.

Some of us are getting darned tired of US nut cases killing children and others by the dozens. If we are going to stop killing of the preborn, why aren’t we trying to stop the killing of the postborn? It just doesn’t make sense.
