Pretty scary that only 6 senators are the margin keeping an AWB ban from being passed!

"Feinstein is hoping survivor testimonials, along with the images of the 20 slain children at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, most of them 6-year-olds, will push these Democrats to reconsider their opposition."
wait, i thought the NRA were the bad guys because they used children to push their agenda?
Shes such a lowlife, classless bitch.

The American gun owning public is being duped again, just like we were duped the two weeks before the election when we were convinced that Romney was ahead by several percentage points. The media, including our “friends” at Fox, Drudge, and other “conservative” outlets, are attempting to sell us the concept that the “assault weapon ban” legislation can’t pass, and this is a lie. We are told that Bill Clinton sternly warned his party that they will be punished in the mid-terms, and that the NRA is “too powerful” for any real legislation to make it through congress. This is also a lie. Behind our backs, the political machine is crafting public opinion in what have become the majority voting blocks to convince national and state legislators that they are safe for the next election… and they are safe. American gun owners didn’t show up in force for the last election, and we are not feared as a voting block any longer. Don’t be a fool and believe it when they tell us we can’t lose. We are going to get beaten again if we don’t act. And this time it isn’t a slippery slope. This time they are going to outlaw an entire class of guns with no loopholes....
Shes such a lowlife, classless bitch.
also, if "high capacity clips" allow you to fire many rounds in a few seconds, whats this guys excuse?

Vice President Joe Biden said today it will take “persuasion and information” to garner the necessary support in Congress to enact the weapons’ ban and other measures.
They don't even have a simple majority (if the article is to be believed) - they need 60 to break the filibuster.
Of course - I don't trust politicians, no deal is too small or too big - plus they all have dirt under their fingernails - if 0bama has that info, he can flip them.
I dont think you read that right.
"That means Democrats wouldn’t have a simple 51-vote majority to pass the measure, let alone the 60 votes needed to break a Republican filibuster to bring it to a floor vote."
It sounds like the democrats need a 51 majority vote to pass it, but then it has to be voted on with a floor vote if it passes the 51 majority vote.
Damn this is too close. I really hope no R's flip.
