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.

Very heavy hitters. The heaviest of them all.
This country already is down. Whether DJT and patriots will be able to restore it to its original foundations will be according to God’s Will.

As was the case in years past, the outcome is not assured but one’s duty is required, if we have hope for our Republic’s Restoration.
May God Bless American Patriots.
‘WTF is wrong with the GOP? ‘
The same thing that always has been. We are just noticing it more.
GOP = Gutless Outdated Party
One would think that they would grow a spine seeing Trump's rise and take no prisoner attitude. They truly live in a land of delusion.

They have just poked the majority of American gun owners in the eye and Trump WILL benefit from this crap! Bank on it!!
I was asking an opinion...
Sheesh.
Ayotte only voted against expanding background checks because she is running for re-election. If she wasn’t I’d bet she would be all for it.
That Monkey needs to be excited about a football, that is the GOPeee.
Ichan can make life really miserable for a lot of people.
Then they will start coming for the guns. Police will fan out and look for areas around the country where potential defense by an armed citizenry will need to be eradicated. Look at some of their exercises over the last couple of years as well at the ranch incident.

I am not talking about Icahn but you are right he is very tough. The people I am talking about can make Icahn look like a choir boy.
No. When government jackboots start going door-to-door for guns, there's going to be some gun owners who'll gladly turn them over, even snitching on other gun owners.
