This Week - Guns in America.

Kimberly Strassel - expands current system, increased records being kept.

George Will - the bill should be consistent with the Bill of Rights. We’re not going to get universal background checks, limit on magazines, assault weapons ban...would any of this have helped stop the tragedy? No.

Wapo Gal says limited progress might prevent future Newtowns. It will stop some people down the road. What’s the problem with background checks? It’s not like the govt will rifle through records and do anything with them....lololol

Goodlatte, Virginia - Are you going to require law abiding citizens greater burdens to no effect.

Luis Gutterball - gang bangers are happy and applauding the lack of passing a strong gun bill. (oh, shutup)

It’s only Jeff Sessions against everyone else. THat’s it.

Under GW Bush, one amnesty attempt was started, but got derailed by the 9-11-01 attacks. It was restarted in 2002, but was stopped on a procedural technicality in the Senate by Sen. Robert Byrd (D-WVA). Of course, the efforts were renewed several more times during the Bush years.

It does seem that the number on Capitol Hill standing against it are becoming fewer. Sen. Sessions was one of the voices during those previous attempts.
