2 minutes ago Senate overcomes filibuster, votes to open debate on gun bill Posted by CNN's Tom Cohen
Washington (CNN) - The U.S. Senate voted Thursday to overcome a Republican-led filibuster against tougher gun laws, clearing the way for a major congressional debate on a package of proposals sought by President Barack Obama in the aftermath of the Connecticut school massacre.
The procedural vote followed a breakthrough by Sens. Joe Manchin, D-West Virginia, and Pat Toomey, R-Pennsylvania,

Says who? The GOP doesn't give two shiites about its constituency anymore. Sorry to be such a damper, but why would anything change now?
Both my Kansas senators were for the filibuster. But no chance to celebrate my senators.
Because while this is DOA in the House, I fear everyday more of a conflict brewing in this nation. I have had the feeling since 2007, but really since 2000 election.
Been fearing an armed conflict more than an economic collapse. My reason is that we will go to conflict over social issues, gun issues or Islamic extremism or a side will get fed up and start trouble before any economic collapse.
Or a second idea is that the tyrannical government will take some radical action and its on.
And then we have threats of rouge nations attacking. And that would start things rolling if they try to take this nation out.
So not much worth celebrating. kind of pessimistic.
Famous last words.
Where’s a good German U-Boat when you need one.
That's what you think. What you think may have little to do with reality.
I fear the Republic is over...
Never doubt the GOP’s ability to stab us all in the back.
Oh, don't worry..It will never pass the house...(snicker)...
We haven't learned a damned aver the years, have we..? Just as sure as God made little green apples thous sticky butted, lousy, back stabbing, treasonous SOB's in washinton will sell American out..!!!
Just LOOK at all the work this will create for the lawyers.!!! I'm sure glad SOMEBODYS got a JOB...Now we just need to find some way to get them to pay TAXES..!!! But its dammed hard to do because all of the laws they create, don't apply to THEM..!!!
Do we really believe that the cockeyed politicians are going to give up THEIR rights to arms.?? Half of them are crazier then $HIT HOUSE RATS..!! They got their head doctors on call 24-7.. DC is prozac city..!!
We better get off our hands and do something real soon or there is only be TWO jobs Left in the USA... CROOKS and COPS..!!
Some of us already know which side were going to be on because were not going to give up our God given rights (GUNS) come hell or high water..!!!
...sorry for the rant...but I can see it coming...the house WILL pass it...watch and see...
If this passes will I have to register my box of strawberry frosted pop tarts? Wonder how much I could get for them at a gun buy back if I nibble them into the shape of a gun like that little boy did a few weeks ago.
That could be a real money maker!
And it says that they need probable cause to arrest you for a violation of this law, but most state databases have a list of the CPL holders, so that would probably constitute probable cause for a search. And in any case if pulled over most states require a CPL holder to declare himself as such during a traffic stop, probably also enough to warrant a search.
Look at some of the crap in the senate gun COMPROMISE bill the republicans agreed on:

. . . as did both the RINOs from Georgia. The Georgia State Republican Party is dead to me.
There. I fixed it.
Corker coasted to reelection in 2012 with nary a whiff of opposition. He drew Democrat support, as he always wanted.
It’s probably Jimmy Carter getting to the GA senators; he tells them in their ears to be “satesmen”. GA voters are as nearly as clueless in such matters as those elsewhere.
People in TN think of Alexander the way the SC uninformed think of Graham. They have no idea of either’s liberal tendencies.
So just how does a WV perennial politician own a yacht? And does he favor the tax on yachts, first proposed by none other than Abraham Lincoln, who made WV a state?
Theodore R. posted - “It’s probably Jimmy Carter getting to the GA senators...”
Lol! Oh heck no, hardly anyone listens to Jimmah anymore! A few years back, even Emory had to make attendance mandatory when he spoke there!
Thank You Lord, for blessings great, and small.

Oh! And this is quite good from your profile. Although, very sad, and very true.
