Senate Now Voting on Amendments to Gun Legislation

The Senate on Wednesday is debating and will vote on several amendments to S649, the gun legislation bill which Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-NV) introduced last week. One of the first amendments debated and voted on is the amendment by Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Pat Toomey (R-PA) which deals with background checks when purchasing a firearm.

I am so happy about the other amendments all 5 going down but I am so mad about the vets being put on the list to have their rights taken away from them. They are voting on the Burr (R. N.C.) amendment now.

Obama on now catigating the Reps on the Mancin-Toomey amendment. 90% of Dems voted for it and 90% of the Reps voted against it. Obama then decried the fact that the senate rules requiring 60 votes and essentially said it was undemocratic.

Obama wanted this bill to go to the House so he could use it against the Reps in 2014. He is really pissed. And he has Giffords and the Newtown parents surrounding them. It is the fault of the terrible gun lobby. As an NRA member, I say well done!!!

I hope this Vet one passes.

Thank you both so much! I wish I could watch CNN (did I say THAT?) but DrO is hogging the TV.....LOL.

I am so happy the Marxist is maaaad! Let him blame the GOP. They deserve this win and credit for finally growing the spine to defend our God-given, Constitutional rights!!!!

We have the names of the RINO traitors.

OH HAPPY DAY!

God bless PATRIOT America!

[kabar]

Obama now putting on his community organizer hat vowing that those who voted against this will suffer at the ballot box. He keeps on claiming that 90% of the voters want universal background checks—whatever that means.

[Marcella]

Hussein putting all the blame on NRA.

[onyx]

NRA = Well done and then some!

Never Surrender! Never Retreat!

[kabar]

He is going on and on like a Third World dictator. He wants the issue and could care less about the people or victims.

[Marcella]

He says NRA caused the senators to vote this way.

[onyx]

He keeps on claiming that 90% of the voters want universal background checks—whatever that means.

That's another lie.

Idiot polls by his lamestream.

Latest Gallup, (which I posted) has Voter interest in gun control at 4 percent!

[Marcella]

Hussein rant is over.

[onyx]

He’s the world’s best demagogue. Community organizer.

That’s all he knows.

Facts don’t matter.

He relies on emotion.

[spel_grammer_an_punct_polise]

“He keeps on claiming that 90% of the voters want universal background checks—whatever that means.”

I do not know where he gets those numbers. One could not get 90% of this country to agree to anything at all.

It always has, is now and always will be a pretty even split 50% - 50% for just about everything. ;-)

Somebody good at photoshop please put this image together.

Blood filled swimming pool, Dripping, smiling Obama on the low board ready to dive in again and Feinstine riding Reid on a splashing floaty.

[Marcella]

“Executive orders are coming.”

That is the absolute truth.

Shoot, Vet bill didn’t pass.

[Marcella]

Now, high capacity magazines is up. I have two and they can’t have them.

PING

[The Cajun]

Executive orders are coming

I believe he can stick them where the sun don't shine...........Just sensing the changing mood in the country...........Time to start building momentum.
