Well, in that case. First the lyin' king is furious and now coldburt is taking the gloves off. Guess suzie collins bill will sail right through now. 'Specially with linda grahms endorsement. When does 8% of the population get to have control of an issue? Heck, when does less than 5% of the population get to tell everyone which toilet to use? In 2014 the number of "rifle" homicides was less than 300. Not even broken down to ARs, out of 300+ million population you really want to go there? Why yes, yes they do.

Oh no! Colbert is pissed? They’ll just have to go back into session and vote over to assuage all 23 of his dedicated viewers!

Colbert is a classic example of the disease that infects the voting public: ignorance.

The reason no bill was passed: The Republicans offered a bill to temporarily block a firearm purchase by someone on the no-fly list (and maybe the separate "watch" list). The person then had the option to challenge the denial, thus preserving their right to due process. The Democrats voted against this. There was actually a majority vote for it, but they needed 60 votes to proceed.

The Democrats offered a bill without the due process protections. They may have thrown more things into the kitchen sink, like "closing" the mythical "gun show" loophole. The Republicans voted against it.

If someone can provide more details or clarifications/corrections, please do so. But, I believe this is the gist of the differences.

The damn enemedia doesn't explain these differences, because it contradicts their continuing mission to make the Republicans look bad. And of course, they don't bother to point out that NONE of the proposals would have prevented Mateen from buying a gun.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert ratings fall to new low

"The Late Show with Stephen Colbert dips to a new ratings low, falling further behind Jimmy Kimmel Live to third place in the demo and among total viewers..."

Hey, MORON, tell your bosses there at the network -- or is that NUTwork -- HQ to DISARM THE SECURITY PEOPLE AT IN THE MAIN LOBBY because your small penis is offended by them and you MIGHT have some credibility!

“Since when does 8 percent of the population get to have total control of an issue?”

Someone remind me, how many trannies are there in this country?

"Since when does 8 percent of the population get to have total control of an issue?”

Ever since 1.5 percent of the population can tell bakers what they have to do.

“Since when does 8 percent of the population get to have total control of an issue?”

8% is pretty darn significant when compared to how the entire population is now forced to buy a product from government endorsed businesses.

We can thank 1 person, John Roberts, for that specific act of tyranny. 1/330M = 0.0000003% or 24 million times less than 8%!

And we care about what Stephen Colbert ‘thinks’ because.....
