Just called his office in DC as I am not on FaceBook. Voiced my displeasure. Lady who answered phone was cocky in her answers.

Coburn really screwed us. Makes me never want to vote again...you can’t trust any of them.

Saxby is getting beat up as well. Not that he cares as he is not running again:

Great and I see Johnny Isakson of GA voted for it as well.

Good grief. You would think he voted to confiscate everything from kitchen knives to every imaginable automatic weapon. He only voted to prevent a filibuster because it is high time we had this debate on the floor of the Senate so the real totalitarian gun grabbers will have come out of the closet. Coburn is as solid a supporter of 2nd amendment rights as you will find and suggestions to the contrary are simply a means for low-information voters to self-select.

As we have all learned lately, just giving the Democrats and Republicans a chance to take away our rights and freedoms actually results in losing them.

I think the point here is that the 2nd amendment left no room for debate.

“Nothing shall infringe”

What’s left to debate? Frankly, I’m against banning automatic weapons too. The framers surely couldn’t foresee that the USG would have better technology than the average guy.

Well, as I reread, “Nothing shall infringe”, I think that maybe they did, and that banning automatic weapons was the first tread upon the slippery slope.

Now 2A is gaining speed as it goes off the cliff.

Perhaps that’s the point of everyone’s anger at these ‘statesmen’.

So a simple vote of the Senate and House can overturn the 2nd amendment? Seems the right thing to do is to prevent the vote, rather than leave it up to the chance of a vote.

By suggesting that the 2nd amendment can be 'modified' by a simple law, it is indeed overturned totally, since the 'make no law' part would be null and void.

Personally I am inclined to think that anything the government has should be available to the citizenry.

However, every once in a while I think it is important to get the supporters and the opponents of the Constitution on the record. This debate can do that.

Is there anything worse than voting for a bill that hasn't been read, like Obamacare?

YES

Voting to proceed on a gun bill that hasn't even been WRITTEN!

Well, no, not if they close their eyes and pretend that's not what's going on, and if the MSM incessantly broadcast that everything's OK. Who you gonna believe, Chrissy Matthews or your own lying eyes?

Kidding aside, yes, we have reached the point where American politicians think they're gods. I don't get the sense that the public anger is even registered inside the Beltway. This one's an express train headed straight for a brick wall and all we see in the media is Joe Biden tooting the whistle and grinning like the fool he is.

Yeah the explanation of someones vote being some grand master strategy (which never seems to work) is wearing a little thin with me.

He doesn’t care... obviously. He’s busy hanging out with his NEW friends.
