GOP Agrees to Vote on Gun Control After 15-Hour Filibuster

A nearly 15-hour filibuster led by Sen. Chris Murphy of Connecticut ended early Thursday morning after Republicans agreed to hold votes on gun control measures.

The Senate will vote on a measure banning gun sales to people on the terrorist watch list and a provision requiring background checks at shows and over the internet. Republicans may also offer their own gun control measures.

The filibuster comes just days after a shooting in Orlando that killed 49 people and wounded dozens others. Murphy, joined by most of his Democratic colleagues, recalled his own state’s loss of 27 people during the 2012 Newtown shootings and demanded a serious response.

The only other option to voting them out is rebellion...

Let me ask you...Honestly, do you think the patriotic, conservative Americans would be willing to revolt as our founders did???
I think that there are too many that would just sit back and say, “Well, that’s the way it is...I’ll just make the best of it...”

I would hope people would stand up for their country and for their rights, but no one has yet...

It’s perfectly OK to reject a GOPe type but having Trump win while losing the house and/or senate will guarantee gridlock.

Wish we had gridlock with the GOPe now with BHO in the White House, but they've surrendered at every opportunity.

It was voted down just six months ago. http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2015/12/03/ryan-urges-caution-on-gun-legislation/76714608/

But the `rats know their RAT friends across the aisle are such pusses that all they have to is not let a `crisis go to waste’ and keep up the ‘C’mon, c’mon, c’mon!’ and the GOP folds like lawn chairs.

I live in CT. Calling Comrade Murphy is a lost cause.

What they want is legislation to track transactions such as inheritance.

I would bet just about anything that these vile creatures will word their legislation in such a way as to make it illegal for you to transfer ownership of your firearms to your offspring without a “background check” — (ie: REGISTRATION).

Your children will be in violation of federal law if caught with firearms which the children were not of legal age to own at the time this crap gets passed into law.

Have you been living with your head firmly inserted in your anal cavity for the last 20 years or are you just that naïve? These treasonous republican bastards are worse than the damn democrats. Go pull your head out of your ass, take a good shower and educate yourself. Vote for republicans based on merits? What merits would those be? Bending over for democrats 100% of the time? Using us fools to be elected and then instantly putting on their democrat fellatio knee pads? Just how many more times do you need to be betrayed before you wake the hell up? What a loser!

I honestly don’t see how Trump is going to become President.

So many people in the NWO are against him. He could get every vote and somehow it would be stolen from him. Or they will kill him.

No vest is going to protect him from a shot to the head. I pray for his safety from the NWO. He needs taste testers like the Kings in the old days.

We need President Trump. God Willing.

What we needed was a cooling off period, but here we are rushing headlong into badly thought out measures designed to placate the masses and the special interest groups that lull people into a false sense of security.

We are truly on a very bad slippery slope passing these kind of measures. We are on out way to murky Stalinist/Fascist state where we have secret lists, secret courts and neighbors spying on neighbors.

Mitch McTurdle is a traitor. Most of the Senate is worthless. If they were worth a damn, they wouldn’t have made Yertle majority leader.

[Dahoser]

They don’t care about us and any kind of list. This thing is going to pass with 80 or more votes with McCain and his girlfriend leading the RINOs.

Hmmm.

What if one judges the GOP on its merits?

Judging a politician on their individual merits seems like an interesting idea, but what do individual politicians accomplish?

Let’s judge the demonrat party on its merits. What does the demonrat party accomplish? Anything it wants.

What does the GOP accomplish? Whatever the demonrat party wants.

I’m afraid this election will have massive voter fraud to get Clinton in office...

This country is going down....

[DarthVader]

Because you have no idea who and what backs Trump.

“The only other option to voting them out is rebellion...”

Rebellion is the last resort, and far from the only option we have, to fight back against this elitist oligarchy.

Mass demonstrations and widespread acts of civil disobedience are logical and effective interim steps. If we choose not to take them, then yes, a day will come when rebellion is the only option remaining.

I’m a southerner

We’ve always known the GOP was overrated

We lived under their do gooder yoke once

Enjoy y’all

[tina07]

CAVED YET AGAIN, PARTY OF THE SPINELESS!

[RummyChick]

True.

But it better be some heavy hitters in the NWO backing Trump that can stand up to The Cabal.

[Pelham]

Clyde Wilson warned us many times.

Let me ask you...Honestly, do you think the patriotic, conservative Americans would be willing to revolt as our founders did??? I think that there are too many that would just sit back and say, “Well, that’s the way it is...I’ll just make the best of it...”

Do you REALLY expect anyone to tell you anything on an interwebs chat board regarding possible revolution?

Sheesh.

[JBW1949]

When leftists have mass demonstrations and acts of civil disobedience, the law enforcement stands back and watches to ensure their safety and do nothing to interfere...

If conservatives have mass demonstrations and acts of civil disobedience, the law enforcement will break things up with mace, batons, rubber bullets and if they feel the need, actual gunfire....
