Well goodie, because this Californian opposes what the four did, starting with Chuck Hagel. Whenever his name is attached to something I am instantly suspicious. He could tell me the sun rose in the east this morning, and I would still check with an independent source.
I respect Craig and want to believe he did what he thought was right. However, the way Congress works, it's also possible he was holding his vote out for some piece of pork he wanted for his state and didn't get it. So he writes a rationale for his vote knowing he has to tell his constituents something. Who the heck knows what the truth is without reading the full details of the bill, and few of us do. He pushes a few hot buttons he knows will resonate with the right, gets the desired result and calls it a year.
In the meantime, thanks to the tools available to law enforcement in the Patriot Act, some Asian men were arrested earlier this year in Torrance near where I live, and they were indicted for trying to bring missiles into the country to sell to the higest bidder. Charming.
While I cherish civil liberties as much as the next American, I also cherish life and limb. So what I want to know is, did what Craig and the others do leave us more vulnerable to the machinations of nefarious individuals? I doubt very seriously that Craig, Hagel and the others would give me an honest answer.
Indeed, Hagel is an ambitious sleaze.

Unless you can establish that, your suspicions are no grounds for giving the Federal government access to gun purchase records. Hillary would download the entire file for de-facto national gun registration.

Craig makes the citations for you. Go look if you're so damned credulous.

Did I give blanket approval to Larry Craig?

Did I say the entire Act needed to be tossed? Go find a strawman elsewhere.

So do I, which is why I cherish the Second Amendment.
