So, bottom line, one could argue that unless the gun-control community increases its core number of serious activists, it shouldn’t expect to see any real change in Washington — no matter how many times Congress votes on gun control legislation.

Your thoughts?

No wonder the red state democrat's like Baucus are just giving up and retiring, it's starting to look like the democrats are actually dumb enough to try to run on gun control in 2014, essentially handing every rural red state seat that is up, to the Republican’s...

I think we need a few new senators, promptly, say about 90 or so.

They won’t vote on it again.

Senators and Congressman already made their decision. If they vote on it again, it’ll be CLOSER to the 2014 elections.

As we get closer to the elections.. controversial votes like that will become less and less. It’s right after elections when we have to worry.

Arizonans should drag this Socialist-sympathizer out of office by his heel.

I heard a propaganda commercial on a Boston station this week pushing increased background checks.

Obama's campaign staff is actively pushing this.

I want to know when America is going to be done with Schumer and McCain, along with Durbin, Pelosi and Howyer?

McCain must have been brainwashed in the Hanoi Hilton. He is anti-American to the core now and Arizonans should be more than ashamed for reelecting him.

They’re probably strong-arming the senators that voted for it as we speak. Max Baucus has already decided to retire probably due to such pressure and they may say to him, “you’re leaving anyway so give us a vote!” or he may say “I’m leaving anyway so I don’t owe you crap!” Pryor and Begich will be heavily pressured and McCain will go to work on moderate or retiring republicans to go along with his democratic socialist schemes. These people never stop.

Sounds like Schumer & McCain are keeping their fingers crossed while hoping for another school shooting.

Damn these bastards to hell.

While these morons try to take away our rights through legislation is our side trying to further our rights through legislation?

My point is, Republicans always wait around to be attacked. Why don't they preempt the attack? Make them afraid of a vote. Concealed carry nation wide?

My thoughts are that unless American voters get serious about decisively getting rid of congressmen like Schumer and McCain and the legislators who keep hammering on this, then eventually they are going to be successful at ramming this down our throat. With all the problems facing America, THIS is the issue they want to spend their time on. We need to have long memories on this issue, and get rid of them. We need to make sure that doing what Patrick Toomey did is a 100% certain career ender for him. If we re-elect people like that instead of firing them then we are going to have gun control legislation.

Gun control, Schumer argued, was also beginning to gain real traction with the masses...

Dream on, clown.

And the closer to the next election cycle this vote shall come, the more likely it is to fail.

Gun Control is NOT a popular measure with the majority of American voters, and support for the Second Amendment is enough that it tips the election on this single issue in many districts or even whole states.

This is the “third rail” that many politicians have learned, through painful experience, not to touch. But in this instance, not an entitlement, like so many of the other “third rails”, but a basic Constitutional right.

An armed nation is a free nation. Concealed carry and an end to “gun free zones” assures the potential perpetrator will always remain uncertain of the response of those around him, and even crazy people have some residual sense of self-preservation, at until they have made their statement.

But if they have apprehension about their statement ever being made known, they tend to suppress the more dramatic means of delivery.

Well, an announcement like this is sure to slow down weapon and ammo sales.
