"This bill is a clear overreach that will predominantly punish and harass our neighbors, friends and family," said Republican Senate Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, who joined the effort to block debate on the bill.

Watching Mitch McConnell function as minority leader in the senate is like watching an old lady herd cats.
The cats wander all over the place and don’t even know they have a leader.

"Laws that forbid the carrying of arms . . . disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes . . . Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man. - 1764"

I don’t have to look at the roll call to KNOW that Obozo’s lapdog McCaskill voted to proceed. I didn’t see Blunt’s name among the turncoat RINO’s however so that seems encouraging at least in some small amount...

[[Senate agrees to open gun-control debate]]
Swell- We’ve coem to a pointi n history where our senate is ‘discussing’ whther the second amendmnet is valid or not- What next? What amendment is next? in just a few short months- We’ve goen frorm havign the right to own guns to a coutnry where our govenrment is ‘discussing’ whether they can confiscate those guns for ANY reason they like (while claiming someoen on anti-anxiety medications or who has ever takne thsoe meds is a ‘danger to society and therefore not ‘elligible’ to own a gun)

Wow Two out of Two. It is time We voted these two out of office.
It is a sad Day for Tennessee and our fight to keep our GOD given 2nd Amendment Rights.
