Yes, this move by the lefties in DC could backfire and cause the Dems to lose the Senate and lose further ground in the House.

Not a good time to actually vote on silly gun restrictions when the leftist gun control folks are a bit out of their minds.

Wait until everybody calms down and look at this in depth and then respond with reasonable legislation if any. You will always have some on the left that are looking for a way to get bad legislation passed (never let a crisis go to waste), but this has to be ignored and delayed.

It is never a good time to pass emotional legislation. Let time pass and look at the problem rather than the object. Let common sense apply - a rather unknown reaction in the Congress these days.

Was poking around to see if Feinstein had even introduced legislation for her AWB and I see the coward has not. She knows once it is available on paper it will get torn to shreds.
I did, however, run across an obnoxious bill introduced by the bottom-feeder from Houston.

The text of the legislation is here:
http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c113:H.R.65:
...where in the HELL is that HTML bootcamp page?

Anyway, they always dress their crap up in a pretty package, "To prevent children's access to firearms" - and then load in their effluent.

I’m sure they’ll all fall in line with their supreme ruler just like they do on everything else. Obama will make them offers they can’t refuse. You know, the usual. They are all cowards who serve their king rather than the American people.

If Virginia could elect a jerk like Kaine then I have no hope.

Arkansas Sen. Mark Pryor Votes No To Repeal ObamaCare

Sen. Mark Pryor
Votes to the Left of Liberal

Bill Smith, Editor: Arkansas Senator Mark Pryor joined other liberal democrats in voting against repealing the federal health care law (Obamacare) which has been declared unconstitutional and void. The vote was on amendment offered to the FAA Re-authorization bill by Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) which was identical to the text of the House-passed bill (H.R. 2) to repeal the Democrats’ health care law. At last count the vote was 47 Yes and 51 No on the amendment.

Four hours prior to the vote, Senator Pryor responded as follows via email to my request for him to vote to repeal the bill. Note that his email response even promoted a non-government website:

February 2, 2011
Dear Mr. and Mrs. Smith,

Thank you for contacting me regarding health care reform. I appreciate hearing from you.

On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) into law. Since being signed into law, PPACA has helped over 43,000 Arkansas seniors who fall in the “donut hole” afford their medicines and provided tax credits to small businesses in Arkansas that offer health coverage to employees. It has also prohibited insurance companies from placing lifetime limits on coverage, ensuring that 1.4 million Arkansans who have private insurance are not abandoned when they need health coverage the most.

While the passage of health care reform was a step in the right direction for making health care more affordable and expanding access to health care in rural America, there is still work to be done. I will continue to consider changes and improvements to PPACA as implementation moves forward. Please know that I will continue to work to ensure that health coverage is available to and affordable for all Americans.

Again, thank you for contacting me. I value your input. Please do not hesitate to contact me or my office regarding this or any other matter of concern to you.

Sincerely,
Mark Pryor
United States Senate

Pryor Votes To Block Obamacare Repeal

Webb says Pryor is “out of step” with Arkansas

Little Rock, Ark. – Republican Party of Arkansas (RPA) Chairman Doyle Webb issued the following statement after U.S. Senate Democrats, including Senator Mark Pryor (D-AR), voted 51-47 to block the repeal of Obamacare Wednesday:

“Yesterday Senator Mark Pryor voted to defend a law that destroys freedom of choice, raises the cost of health care, and has been declared unconstitutional by two federal judges. Senator Pryor cast a vote to oppress individual liberty, despite the fact Arkansas’ four Congressmen recently voted in a bi-partisan manner to repeal the harmful law.

“We applaud Senator John Boozman for defending individual freedom, listening to Arkansans and voting to repeal Obamacare.

“Senator Pryor’s blatant disregard for the overwhelming majority of Arkansans who object to all or some of the President’s health care law demonstrates he is largely out of step with Arkansas values.”

Anybody know if that bonehead Sen. Jon Tester has said anything? I understand he has a poor rating with the NRA. Hard to believe he was even elected in Montana.
