Speaking to reporters on April 3rd, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) said the shooting at Fort Hood should revive the gun control push.
According to The Washington Post, Reid said, "As I was told today, [Army Spc. Ivan Lopez] bought his gun a day or two before he killed these people. Couldn't we at least have background checks so that people who are ill mentally, or who are felons, shouldn't be able to buy guns?"
This is somewhat misleading because "law enforcement officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the pistol used by Lopez... was purchased legally last month... at Guns Galore." This means Lopez went through a background check to get the gun, which also means the failed Senate gun bill would not have stopped Lopez from getting it.
It is important to remember the failed Senate gun bill would have expanded the number of background checks, but they would essentially be the very same checks we have right now. That is because the structures and mechanisms for the kind of information sharing required to do the background checks that Democrats promote doesn't even exist.....

Typical Harry: reality didn't match his ideology, so he changed reality.

The country of my childhood and early adulthood is gone, isn't it? Yes it is, and we will be hard pressed to bring it back, and like we had no idea any left wing, liberal, socialist, pinko commie geek would try to use this to further his own communist agenda.

Not gone, only gone into hiding. We The People can bring it back, but we're gonna have to get our lazy butts off the couch and turn off Windbag O'Reilly in order to make it happen. Oh yeah...and quit making excuses.

Dream on, you old idiot. Hopefully, it will change the crazy ban on letting our military carry weapons for their protection on our bases. It is obscene to have soldiers who have survived multiple tours of combat duty die on US soil at a military base.

Sorry Harry, but the worm has turned. The public is not buying and has rejected your liberal gun control argument. Just keep making a fool of yourself on every issue.

Doesn’t sound like gun control worked out so well at Fort Hood.

STFU Reid.
I think it points to a horde lynching you. Let’s make that a law.

The country of my childhood and early adulthood is gone, isn't it? Yes, it is. I am thankful, though, that I was able to enjoy America in its finest years. Great memories.

According to The Washington Post, Reid said, "As I was told today, [Army Spc. Ivan Lopez] bought his gun a day or two before he killed these people." Did the Koch brothers buy it for him, Harry?

No. But there are too many nuts running around loose. Mostly in DC, in congress.

So he is going to disarm the military? I still cannot believe the NRA supported this bag of shit for his last senatorial run.
