Jeff Sessions likes to portray himself as pro 2nd Amendment and boasts of a lifetime rating by the NRA.
However I was going through Sen. Rand Paul's amendments and found THIS from 2011. Gun Owners of America supported the amendment to stop gun owners being subject to PATRIOT Act fishing expeditions and Jeff Sessions voted with 85 other senators to kill it.
This is a clear anti-2A vote!
See for yourself. I have linked to Sen. Paul's amendment on the Senate website.
Here is a brief explanation from the John Birch Society (JBS):
JEFFERSON SESSIONS
Motion to Table S.Amdt. 363: Motion to Table S.Amdt. 363
Vote Date: May 26, 2011 Vote: AYE Bad Vote.
Patriot Act (Firearms Purchase Records).
During consideration of the Patriot Act extension bill (S. 990), Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.), who opposes the Patriot Act on constitutional grounds, offered an amendment that would have banned the use of Patriot Act searches for American citizens' firearms records without the Fourth Amendment's protections of probable cause, warrants, and particularity.
Gun Owners of America, which supported this amendment, warned: "Without Paul's exemption, it is possible that the BATFE could go to a secret (FISA) court, and, in a one-party (ex parte) proceeding, obtain an order to produce every 4473 [firearms transaction record] in the country, ostensibly because a 'terrorism investigation' requires it. If such an action were taken, the government would have a list of every gun buyer in the country going back decades."
The Senate tabled (killed) Rand Paul's amendment on May 26, 2011 by a vote of 85 to 10 (Roll Call 82). We have assigned pluses to the nays because Paul's amendment would have prevented the Patriot Act from being used to violate the rights of gun owners.
Amazingly, Shelby who is Sessions home state colleague voted for the amendment!
Amazing the number of people on this site that want to give the traitor Jeffery Sessions another chance to screw us in the senate again.
No fricking wonder the republican party is so brain dead!
How can anyone trust Sessions after what he did to Trump?
Yep, stupid people electing stupid people, who would of thought.
Great. Thank you. I had high hopes or Sessions when he came out early for Trump...greatly disappointed in his AG tenure...hope Tuberville will continue the Trump agenda.
I think one of the best things in the age of Trump is the exposure of the GOPe...
One thing I learned was that Tuberville raised his family (two sons) in Auburn and still owns residential and commercial there.
Contrary to what the Sessions folks are saying, Tommy Tuberville has roots in Alabama.
Trust me - Tubbs was Head Coach at Mississippi for 4 years and Auburn for 10 years. If Mississippi State and Alabama didn't dig up any dirt on him in those 14 years, he is Squeaky Clean!!!!
