See, this is why we have to keep electing Republicans!

Can you imagine if the entire Senate were Democrats?

At least these Republicans slowed down this bill. If they can add a tax-credit to people who lost their guns under Red Flags laws that'll be awesome!

Why are you right-wing purists always complaining?

Is there any chance this bill will survive a Supreme Court case?

"Gun rights groups do not see the issue in the same light. Ahead of the vote, the NRA and other members of the gun lobby urged GOP lawmakers to oppose the legislation.

“This legislation can will be abused to restrict lawful gun purchases, infringe upon the rights of law-abiding Americans, and use federal dollars to fund gun control measures being adopted by state and local politicians,” the NRA said in a statement."

Fixed it.

I would have a lawsuit in waiting on the red flag law.

The red flag part of the law is clearly unconstitutional. I can't wrap my head around how anyone can take someone's rights away when they have committed no crime. I don't know if that would make the entire law unconstitutional.

For what it is worth, I consider every gun control law unconstitutional.

“ Todd Young - IN, How disappointing... ”

He also stabbed us in the back on the trillion dollar infastructure pork bill. He voted to end the filibuster knowing it would insure passage of the bill.

AGAIN, they got billions from Covid and now this. They are going to hire MORE union dues payors and there will be NO accountability to the desired outcome, identifying school shooters or problem kids.

Surely you grok that the purported/advertised "desired outcome" (identifying or helping problem kids before they descend into acts of mass murder) is not the outcome which The Ruling Class truly desires?

Indeed, I think we can be excused for concluding that actually addressing or fixing any problem is not what Ruling Class members want. Not truly. If only because they need problems to exist, so they can continue to bloviate about "there oughta be a law." Or bloviate that "we must make sure that this never happens again." In short, The Ruling Class needs festering problems so they can, through more and more liberty-eating legislation, pretend to fix them. Upon what else but crisis after (sometimes-fabricated) crisis will they rely for getting (low-info) citizens to vote them back into office?

And, the de facto "slush fund" which all this Federal Spending provides to Democrat Party coffers...? Why, that's just an added bonus.

I think you know this, so I'll leave it there. Cheers.

And yet retards on here are telling us to vote for Oz

One of the first things I thought of was would Oz vote for this. I have no doubt in my mind that he would. Oz is just another Pat Spector, Arlen Toomey replacement. They are generic replacement components manufactured to exacting specifications.

“..But, isn’t it NRA-supported politicians who are on this list?...”

Yep. A handful of em are A and B-rated by the NRA.
They stabbed the NRA, their so-called GOPe “party”, their states, but worst of all, the innocent American People, right in the back and twisted the knife. It’s called being an outright traitor to your “unwashed constituency” and the country.
NEVER, ever, trust these bassturds to ever do anything in support of America and her People.
They lie, cheat, steal, destroy.....UniParty hacks are what they really are.

Yep. Can’t say as I rightly blame ya one bit. I’m in the same boat. My dad bought me a life membership as a birthday gift waaaaay back when I was a young pup.
Instead, I find myself supporting the GOA a whole lot more these days.

I counted 11 - where did the last 3 come from? Burr, Blount and Portman? Their names weren’t in the article....

“ As an NRA life member, I’m disgusted with their racket.”

As you should be. Wayne LaPierre is/has ruined the NRA. He’s a supreme grifter. He just won re-election with 1 vote against. Disgusting.

The NRA under WLP has become irrelevant.
