Senator Roger Wicker Today, I voted to allow debate on gun legislation. I have an A+ rating from the NRA and have consistently worked to protect Second Amendment rights.
My vote is in accord with the NRA’s position. I have never voted for gun control and will not do so.
This begins a debate to put the Senate on record about a basic constitutional freedom.
Bringing this bill to the floor gives us the opportunity to vote on measures to strengthen gun rights, such as an amendment to protect veterans from unfair restrictions when trying to purchase a firearm.
I will filibuster passage of a final bill if it contains gun restrictions or a weapons ban.Senator Roger Wicker
Today, I voted to allow debate on gun legislation. I have an A+ rating from the NRA and have consistently worked to protect Second Amendment rights. My vote is in accord with the NRA’s position. I have never voted for gun control and will not do so. This begins a debate to put the Senate on record about a basic constitutional freedom.

I will filibuster passage of a final bill if it contains gun restrictions or a weapons ban.
I think the filibuster is being passed over so that red state Dems do not get off the hook for this.
They are dammed if they vote for the bill and dammed if they don’t.
Everyone knows that Rep. Stockman will send this bill right back to the Senate because the background checks involve revenue.
NO mention of his position on universal background checks. How clever of Roger.
He’ll get yet another call from me first thing tomorry.
“I will filibuster passage of a final bill if it contains gun restrictions or a weapons ban.”
Weasel words.
The NRA will score today’s vote, I believe. Roger’s rating just went down.
