Rob Portman is leaving the Senate. He has nothing to lose by passing this.
The letter after the name means jack anymore.
The only reason political parties still exist is to give voters the illusion of choice.
A pol is either loyal to our former republic or to Deep State.
The above pols are Deep State.
Pat Toomey is a lame duck who is pimping for a CNN job after he leaves DC.
The 2A does not need to be added to nor subtracted from, the founders got it perfect the first time.
Something to repeal along with commie care.
Or will they “repeal and replace”, if even.
We really need a big legislative “undo” congress.
Governing by news cycle.
Each of them need to be brought up on charges of Treason for making war on the Constitution and the citizens of the US.
Can’t happen until 2025, but it should happen then.
This is just the beginning. Dems will feel emboldened now for a full scale attack on the 2nd amendment.
Its the usual squishes.
To be honest the only measure that actually bothers me is the encouragement of “red flag” laws on the state level. We already have laws to involuntarily commit someone who is a danger to himself or others. All such red flag laws do is allow the government to seize your guns without due process whenever anybody claims you might be “dangerous”.
This is of course wide open to abuse. There is no medical diagnosis and you do not even get a chance to defend yourself in court before they seize your guns and its often time consuming and expensive to get them back.
Also, after they seize your guns, they provide no mental help at all. No counseling, not hospitalization, no treatment. They leave your car keys and lots of other things you could use to cause harm. They just show up and take your guns.
That should be ruled unconstitutional. The 14th amendment is supposed to guarantee due process.
So has anybody seen the text yet to see if the actual content matches up to what the media is reporting.
If, in November, Republican take control of the Senate, and if, in January, McConnell is still in his leadership position, it will have all been in vain.
“Cornyn, who has an A+ rating from the NRA, had previously offered assurances that he would not support any legislation that restricted gun rights.”
This serves as another reason why I do not support the NRA. They lost me long ago when they endorsed Harry Reid.
Gun Owners of America is the only true Second Amendment advocate.
Be nice if Machin voted against it.
“Romney, who received over $13 in donations from the NRA,...”
Typo or not, that right there is funny.
EC
And these 10 are all going to be leading the party when they win the majority in November. Which is why in have no faith in the Republicans to do what they campaign on.
I knew the GOPe would sell us out.
