With at least 14 United States senators (all Republicans), including Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), having vowed to filibuster any proposed unconstitutional gun legislation (and given the Constitution's clear statement that the right to keep and bear arms is one that shall not be infringed, that would seem to indicate that all proposed gun legislation would be subject to filibuster), the forcible citizen disarmament advocates are growing louder and louder in their outrage.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV), for example, speaking on the Senate floor Monday, said, "Shame on them," in reference to the senators planning a filibuster. From Talk Radio News Service:
“There is simply no reason for the blatant obstruction except the fear of considering anti-violence proposals in full, public view. Yet now many Senate Republicans seem afraid to even engage in this debate. S[h]ame on them,” Reid said on the Senate floor.

You get a clause in that gungrabber stuff that CASINOs cannot allow guns on the premises ~ you’d see ol’Harry yolping and jumping!
“...the forcible citizen disarmament advocates are growing louder and louder in their outrage.”
Eff ‘em; let ‘em change the constitution or STFU.
Until the find out what trojan horse the bill really is.
A quote: “85% of people are for background checks.”
We already have background checks. Why would we need a new law then... inquiring minds want to know.
And if they try to change the Constitution’s 2nd Amendment, I have a few tens of millions of friends who will have a very firm conversation with them.
Tyrant Kim Un Obama must be very pleased that his efforts have so easily “FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGED THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.”
No need for any conversation; they’ll never muster the strength to change the Bill of Rights, no matter how noisy and argumentative they become.
low information voters will rise up and say,....what’s on teevee?
So with only 14 senators on board there will be more than enough votes for cloture. How long before they can force the vote?
We already have background checks. Why would we need a new law then... inquiring minds want to know.

The liberals need a :cause” before the next election, and this is it. The more republicans they get to vote against the constitution and for their joke of a bill the better. They can then somehow turn it around on the republicans with lies and distortions before the election.
NEVER let a crisis go to waste.
I think Rand Paul ought to offer up an Amendment to the Constitution guaranteeing everyone a right to T.V.
Word it exactly like the 2nd Amendment.
It would pass with alacrity, and become the most sacred component of our Constitution.
:-(
Congress is just playing with the foundations of USA. The bedrock of the USConstitution. Play. For the majority of USG, it is play, anymore. Law, right and wrong, survival: playing...
Nachum ~: : (from the title) “ Filibustering senators under no obligation to ‘play fair’ to protect gun rights.”
The Second Amendment is quite specific : “ ..not infringe..” .
So , .. that is the “Law of the Land”
The current administration chooses which laws they will enforce , and those laws which the will not enforce.
Those laws which they choose to ignore are, in reality ,
in violation of their ‘oath of office’
and therefore should the basis for their removal.
To do less than the “Law of the Land” is illegal ,immoral, and criminal
No one is obligated to “Play Fair” with a criminal !!
I wonder where Boehner and McConnell keep their testacles? They obviously aren’t wearing them.
