Democrat John Fetterman Wants to End Filibuster to Push Gun Ban Through
Breitbart ^ | 10/03/2022 | AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 10/03/2022 1:21:14 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

Senate candidate John Fetterman (D-PA) wants to end the filibuster so Democrats can push through a gun ban for “assault weapons.”

Fetterman’s gun control positions were in the spotlight over the weekend after a September 30 FOX News mention of his reference to NRA members as the “lunatic fringe of gun ownership.”

That’s okay, didn’t Obama say while in Pennsylvania that only bitter clingers had guns anyway.

Would he be so eager to eliminate the filibuster if the Republicans gain the majority and want to start repealing gun laws?

Those bitter clingers are two-thirds of all Pennsylvanians.

This alone should defeat Fetterman.

Festerman wants to ban guns but he's the one who committed a felony while mayor when he held an innocent black jogger at gunpoint. He afterward claimed he did the right thing despite knowing he broke the law and stopped an innocent jogger.

Why do I get the feeling he could run down main street naked shouting obscenities and Pennsylvanians would still vote for him.

I don’t know, they may be spending too much time clinging and not get out to vote. Much easier to vote when you don’t have a job or can have someone else vote for you—especially when you are dead.

That’ll go over great in Pennsylvania, big hunting and fishing state, plinking very popular in the countryside.

So folks is Oz so bad he’s not worth voting for? Whatever he might say about guns political reality is he needs gun owners to win elections. It’s probably the case with a lot of the mushier Republicans.

Fetterman, like everyone else, knows that the Republicans would never do that. It would go against Senate tradition.

In other words, Democrats play hardball, and for keeps. Republicans play T-ball while sipping on their lunchtime martinis.

It would have to be a veto proof majority and that’s not going to happen anytime soon.

A majority to just stop Biden in his tracks is good enough for now. (Hopefully one with a large enough edge so that Romney and other RINOS couldn’t subvert it!)

There is a lot of truth to that.

We would be such a fine state if we could cede Philly to New Jersey, and Pittsburgh to Ohio. 😜😎😉

Yeah, we’ll see how many laws they repeal.

Fetterman’s a joke. I hope the voters send him back to his mother’s basement.
