You can always count on the Republicans .... to cave to the Democrats.

I’m not sure why we’d want to fillibuster. Why not just let it go to a vote? I don’t think Reid has the votes to pass it, but maybe my information is old.

Who cares? It will never get through the house. Waste of mental gymnastics.

The dems want the bill to killed. AWR Hawkins reported last week that Sen Blumenthal is going to offer an amendments to ban ‘high capacity’ magazines ensuring its defeat.

“There’s no ambivalence on the gun issue, I think everyone knows what the issues are. We have not seen the final draft of the legislation that was produced, I understand, last night, but I think it deserves a vote up or down.”…

No. My freedom does not "deserve" an up or down vote. Freedom is an absolute, and 51% of the people cannot vote to deprive me of a God-given constitutional right. The bill and all gun bills should be killed by any means necessary. If passed, they should be systematically ignored (as the mildest acceptable response). In the event of a trial, jury nullification is a moral obligation.

Especially with these back-stabbers.
In short, the GOP is full of VILE members who'll sell us out in a heartbeat!

Here are the ones that I know about.
What do we do when our side is full of TRAITORS?
I submit the following for proof.

Check out this link, "Senate Republicans Willfully and Knowingly Lie to Their Constituents (vote to fund Obamacare)".And let's not forget Sen. John McCain, one of Conservatives worst enemies, saying 'I don't understand' GOP filibuster on guns.

Personally, if there would be an honest debate without party line votes, I would expect that the various pieces of gun control legislation would not pass the Senate.

However, I think the voting will be on a party line basis no matter how flawed the legislation is or how little it will do to reduce gun violence.

I have written to my two Senators, and to six other Senators that may help oppose the universal background check legislation, which is not common sense, but nonsense.

This is my thought on gun control. Let them vote on it. If it passes and is signed into law have all those that voted for it arressted for treason. Any gun controll is in violation of the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.
