Reid claims he'll bring anti gun bill to vote Wed April 17th.
- Thread starter Hoover
- Start date
Phew... that's over, if Blumenthal or Durbin get up now, I'll close the window, can't take much more.
I just watched the last part of Feinstein's remarks. It was a mixture of a few grains of truth with a lot of misinformation and a ton of emotion.
Feinstein made the statement that the first responsibility of any government is protecting the safety of its citizens. That is important, but I always thought that our government's primary goal should be the preservation of liberty and freedom.
Apparently Ms. Feinstein and myself differ on the role of government. Here's my surprised face.

And there was much rhythmic clapping and organ music...

PHONE lines are busy in Washington. If you have to, call the local office of every representative you can today. Emails and faxes. This is going to be down to the wire. Note also Reid brought in the amnesty bill around 2am this morning. The old watch this hand while I punch you with the other one.
some good news from the Washington post:
Adding to the unlikelihood of passage, Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.) said Wednesday that she will vote against the background check plan, because the proposal would place “unnecessary burdens” on gun owners and “allow for potential overreach by the federal government into private gun sales,” she said in a statement.

Reid said he **will** vote for the AWB amendment -
Majority Leader Harry Reid announced on the senate floor that he will vote for Sen. Feinstein's assault weapons ban amendment. (AWB)
“I believe you should have the right to own a gun,” Reid said on the Senate floor. “But you do not need an assault weapon to defend yourself and your property. Assault weapons have one purpose and one purpose alone, to kill a lot of people very quickly.”
Reid formerly opposed the AWB but has since changed his mind.
“That is why I will vote for Dianne Feinstein’s assault weapons ban because we must strike a balance between gun rights and protecting our children’s rights to live.”
DiFi's AWB is not expeted to pass the senate in a vote held later today.
Harry Reid Will Vote for DiFi's AWB
I don't care if he's voting for it b/c he knows it will not pass, he's still a traitor and should be ousted.

How many times can Richard Blumenthal mention sandy hook in 30 seconds? I counted 9 times, then i threw up and lost count. That guy is an @$$hole.
"Common sense" too bad they are not talking about "Common Sense." "Society in every state is a blessing, but government even in its best state is but a necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one; for when we suffer, or are exposed to the same miseries by a government, which we might expect in a country without government, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we furnish the means by which we suffer...”
I just sent a letter to Richard Dick Blumenthal asking him to provide me the number of people who wrote him to ask for more "common sense" reforms. In addition to the number, i asked to have the information validated. I doubt he will respond back, but i figured its worth a shot.
